• A. $\frac{4}{5}$
• B. $\frac{2}{10}$
• C. $\frac{2}{5}$
• D. $\frac{5}{1o}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{2}{5}$

$\text{It is mentioned that 0.4 fish are}$ $\text{red in color.}$

$\text{To convert this decimal into a}$ $\text{fraction, we will remove the decimal}$ $\text{point and divide the denominator}$ $\text{with 10.}$

$⟹0.4=\frac{4}{10}$

$\text{Let's convert the fraction into its}$ $\text{simplest form.}$

$⟹\frac{4}{10}=$ $\frac{4÷2}{10÷2}=\frac{2}{5}$

$\text{Hence, we can say that out of every 5 fish,}$ $\text{there are 2 red fish.}$
