Question

Write 80% as a decimal number and as a reduced fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

Decimal: 0.80      Reduced fraction: $\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 80% and move the decimal two place values to the left.

This makes 0.80              (The decimal point is where the percent sign is.)

0.80 is $\frac{8}{10}$  because the 8 is in the tenths place value.

$\frac{8}{10}$ can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

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