Answer:

4/10

Explanation:

0.4 is said by "four-tenths." Fractions are also said the same way. Notice how there is a four and a ten. This should be easier to help you make decimals in fraction form. The four would be the numerator and the ten would be the denominator, making the final answer 4/10.

Answer: 2/5

Explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.4 is four tenths, so we can write 0.4 as the fraction 4 out of 10.

Notice however that 4/10 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 4 and 10 which is 2.

So if we divide the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get 2/5. So 0.4 can be written as the fraction 2/5 which is in lowest terms.
