Question

Write the following decimal in lowest form

$0.8$

Answer 1

Fractions are parts of a whole, where the numerator represents the equal part and the denominator represents the whole thing.

To convert a number into a fraction we remove the decimal by dividing the number by $10$ for every number after the decimal.

$0.8$ has only one number after the decimal so, we will divide it by $10.$

By simplifying the fraction, we get

$\Rightarrow \frac{8}{10}=\frac{4}{5}$

Hence, the lowest form of given fraction is $\frac{4}{5}$
