Answer 1

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:

\[
\frac{8}{25}
\]

Among the provided options, the correct answer is:

**8 over 25**
