Question

Write the number 0.2 in the form a/b using integers to show that it is a rational number? Anybody know?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{10}$ or $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to write the number 0.2 in the form of fraction a/b

0.2 can be written as $\frac{0.2}{1}$

We have one number 2 after the decimal point

To remove the decimal point , multiply both top and bottom by 2

$\frac{0.2 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10}$

$\frac{2}{10}$ or $\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 2

In fraction form, .2 can be written as 2/10 or 20/100 or 200/1000...and so on.  Doing the division on all of those fractions gives you a solution of .2
