Hey there! :)

Since 0.8 is less than 1, you can cross out every fraction greater than 1. If the numerator(top number) is greater than the denominator(bottom number), it is greater than 1

You can cross out 12/7 because it is greater than 1.
That leaves you with 3 choices.

Now, divide the numerator by the denominator to change all 3 fraction to decimal.
