Answer:

> 1/1,250

Explanation:

Convert the decimal value into the fraction by determining the placement value of the decimal.

> 0.0008 = 8/10,000

Since it’s in the ten-thousandths place, this’ll be the denominator. Now, after you’ve done that, reduce the fraction until it is simplified completely.

> 8/10,000 = 1/1,250

Your overall or simplified fraction should be 1/1,250
