Question

Convert 0.4 into a fraction :) thanks! hugs!<3 show ALL work!!

Answer 1

Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.4 is four tenths, so we can write 0.4 as the fraction
`(4)/(10)`. Notice however that the fraction is not in lowest terms. We will need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 4 and 10 which is 2. Therefore, 0.4 can be written as the fraction
`(2)/(5)`, which is in lowest terms.

Answer 2

`0.4 =(0.4)/(1) = (0.4* 10)/(1* 10) = (4)/(10) = (2)/(5)`

When you multiply the numerator and denominator both by the same thing, it is called an equivalent fraction.
