To express 0.32 as a simplified fraction, we can start by writing it over 1:
\[ 0.32 = \frac{0.32}{1} \]
Next, to eliminate the decimal, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100:
\[ \frac{0.32 \times 100}{1 \times 100} = \frac{32}{100} \]
Now, we need to simplify the fraction \(\frac{32}{100}\). We can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 32 and 100, which is 4:
\[ \frac{32 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{8}{25} \]
So, \(0.32\) expressed as a simplified fraction is:
\[ \frac{8}{25} \]
