When dealing with fractions, it is important to realize that it is the quotient of the numerator and the denominator that matters. 8/10 is 0.8, and 80/100 is 0.8. if you multiply the 8/10 x 10/10, it becomes 80/100. likewise, if you reduce 80/100, it becomes 8/10.

Answer 2

The two fractions are equivalent as if you simplify 80/100 by dividing the top and bottom by 10 you get 8/10
