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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

`(2)/(10)` or
`(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

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

0.2 can be written as
`(0.2)/(1)`

We have one number 2 after the decimal point

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

`(0.2 \cdot 10)/(1 \cdot 10)`

`(2)/(10)` or
`(1)/(5)`
