To express 0.8 in ratio terms, we can write it as 8:10.
To get the ratio, we first convert 0.8 to a fraction by writing it as 8/10. Then we simplify that fraction to its lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (which is 2 in this case).
8/10 = (8 ÷ 2)/(10 ÷ 2) = 4/5
Finally, we write the ratio 4:5 by using the numerator and denominator of the simplified fraction. Therefore, 0.8 expressed in ratio terms is 4:5.
