Answer 1

a) 11/20

b) 0.55

Explanation:

1. A fraction represents a part of a whole. The fraction of the animals that are cows is 44/80 because out of 80 animals, there are 44 that are cows. 44 is a part of that whole.

• Now, to simplify 44/80, let's find the common factors between them:
• 44: 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44
• 80: 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 40 80
• Since the GCF is 4, we divide the numerator and denominator by it
• 
  `(44/4)/(80/4) = (11)/(20)`
• Therefore, the fraction of the animals that are cows in simplified form is 11/20.

2. To find 11/20 as a decimal, we just have to divide 11 by 20 because the numerator represent the dividend, and the 20 represents the divisor.

• 11 ÷ 20
• 0.55
• Therefore, as a decimal, the fraction 11/20 is 0.55.
