Answer:

The answer is 0.08.

Explanation:

In order to determine the decimal number, we have to express the problem in an equation. We are looking for a number that if it is multiply by 10, we will get 0.8. So in one side of the equation, we have 0.8 and in the other side, we have 10 x . Then we have to solve the equation for x variable.

Let x=decimal number.


0.8=10x\\x=(0.8)/(10)\\ \\x=0.08

Finally the decimal number is 0.08.
