For this case we have the following equation:
If we multiply both sides of the equation by 3 we get:
---> Multiplication Property of Equality
Applying the distributive property we have:
---> Distributive Property
Adding 1 on both sides of equality we have:
---> Addition Property of Equality
Subtracting on both sides we have:
---> Subtraction Property of Equality
Finally, dividing by -4 on both sides we have:
---> Division Property of Equality
Answer: 2/5
Step-by-step explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.4 is four tenths, so we can write 0.4 as the fraction 4/10.
Notice however that 4/10 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 4 and 10 which is 2.
So if we divide the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get the equivalent fraction 2/5.
Therefore, 0.4 can be written as the fraction 2/5 which is in lowest terms.
