Answer: The answer is 4/5

Explanation:

Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: 0.800/1

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 1000 (it's 1000 bcuz there're 3 decimal places, if there're 2 decimal places you'll multiply the top and bottom with 100)

(0.800/1) x (1000/1000)= 800/1000

Step 3: Simplified it. Notice that both 800 and 1000 can be divided by 200

800/200= 4

1000/200= 5

=> 4/5

Hope this help

Answer:

4/5

Explanation:

You can remove the trailing 0s, and you have 0.8

this is equal to 8/10

8 and 10 can be divided by 2

8÷2=4

10÷2=5

thus, you get 4/5
