Question

Write 80% as a decimal number and as a reduced fraction

Answer 1

Decimal: 0.80 Reduced fraction:
`(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

Take 80% and move the decimal two place values to the left.

This makes 0.80 (The decimal point is where the percent sign is.)

0.80 is
`(8)/(10)` because the 8 is in the tenths place value.

`(8)/(10)` can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

`(8)/(10)` =
`(4)/(5)`
