Answer 1

To convert the decimal 0.80 to a fraction, we can express it as follows:

1. Write it as \(\frac{80}{100}\) since 0.80 is the same as 80 hundredths.

2. Simplify the fraction \(\frac{80}{100}\). The greatest common divisor of 80 and 100 is 20.

3. Dividing the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:

   \[ \frac{80 \div 20}{100 \div 20} = \frac{4}{5} \]

So, the simplest form of 0.80 as a fraction is \(\frac{4}{5}\).

The correct response is:
