The decimal form of 2/5 is 0.4

You can simply just divide it, however there's another way.

make 2/5 equal to a fraction with a denominator that is 100.

It would be 40/100 because you would multiply 20 to get 100 from 5.

40/100 makes you easier to make a fraction into a decimal.


So your answer is 0.4
