Answer:

12/25

Explanation:

0.48 is read as "forty-eight hundredths," so we can write it as a fraction as

48/100.

Since both 48 and 100 have a common factor, we can reduce the fraction.

48 and 100 are both divisible by 4.

48/100 = 12/25

There are no common factors of 12 and 25, so 12/25 is the answer.
