Answer:

4/5

Explanation:

In order to turn a decimal, in this case 0.8, you'll need to look at the placement of the decimal first. The placement of the decimal here is in the tenths. Thus meaning we will use 10 as the denominator. For the numerator you will use 8. Now we have 8/10. To simplify 8/10 you will divide 8/10 by 2. 8 divided by 2 is 4 (now the numerator). and 10 divided by 2 is 5 (now the denominator). 0.8 would be 8/10 as a fraction and the simplified version of 8/10 is 4/5.
