Answer 1

To convert 0.4 to a simplified fraction, we can follow these steps:

1. Recognize that 0.4 can be expressed as \(\frac{4}{10}\) because there is one decimal place.
2. Simplify \(\frac{4}{10}\) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
\[
\frac{4 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{2}{5}
\]

Therefore, 0.4 as a simplified fraction is \(\frac{2}{5}\).

The correct response is: **Start Fraction 2 over 5 End Fraction**.
