Step-by-step explanation:
There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.8 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .8, means.
Since there are 1 digits in 8, the very last digit is the "10th" decimal place.
So we can just say that .8 is the same as 8/10.
The fraction is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Why divide by 2? 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 8 and 10.
So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is 4/5
So your final answer is: 0.8 can be written as the fraction 8/10 simplified to 4/5
