Given the fraction:


(4)/(8)

Let's simplify the fraction.

To simplify, divide the denominator and the numerator by the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

GCF of 4 and 8 = 4

Hence, we have:


(4/4)/(8/4)=(1)/(2)=0.5

Hence, the simplified fraction is:


(1)/(2)

As a decimal:


0.5

ANSWER:


(1)/(2)
