Question

0.2 into a fraction

Answer 1

If we use the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.2 is two tenths so we can write 0.2 as the fraction
`(2)/(10)`. The fraction
`(2)/(10)` is not in lowest terms so we have to divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

2 ÷ 2 = 1

10 ÷ 2 = 5

Therefore, the decimal 0.2 can be written as the fraction
`(1)/(5)`, which is in lowest terms.
