Answer 1

To convert 0.4 to a fraction, we can express it as \( \frac{4}{10} \) since 0.4 is the same as 4 tenths.

Now, we simplify \( \frac{4}{10} \) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

\[
\frac{4 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{2}{5}
\]

So, the simplified fraction for 0.4 is \( \frac{2}{5} \).

The correct response is **2/5**.
