To express 0.8 as a fraction, we can write it as:

\[
0.8 = \frac{8}{10}
\]

Now, we need to simplify this fraction to its simplest form. We can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

\[
\frac{8 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{4}{5}
\]

Thus, the fraction of the class that are girls in simplest form is:

\[
\frac{4}{5}
\]
