Answer: well, they are both equal because, in this case, you take 8/10, and multiply both sides by 10. that would get you 80/100

When dealing with fractions, it is important to realize that it is the quotient of the numerator and the denominator that matters. 8/10 is 0.8, and 80/100 is 0.8. if you multiply the 8/10 x 10/10, it becomes 80/100. likewise, if you reduce 80/100, it becomes 8/10.
