Question

How is 4 over 5 equal to 0.8?

Answer 1

Okay, we know that
`(5)/(5)` is equal to 1. Now if we divide 1 by 5 to see how many times 5 can go into 1 we see that 1÷5 or
`(1)/(5)` = .2

So every
`(1)/(5)` is equal to .2

Now we can multiply the .2 by 4 to see what
`(4)/(5)` is equal to because
`(1)/(5) *4= (4)/(5)`

And 4 * .2= .8

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

4 over 5 is a fraction. So.......that would be this fraction ------> *4/5.*

4/5 is a not a *whole* number. it's 80% to a whole number. So if you convert it into a decimal form, you would get 0.8.
