Express 0.8 in a ratio term
Show workings
To express 0.8 in ratio terms, we can write it as 8:10.
To get the ratio, we first convert 0.8 to a fraction by writing it as 8/10. Then we simplify that fraction to its lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (which is 2 in this case).
8/10 = (8 ÷ 2)/(10 ÷ 2) = 4/5
Finally, we write the ratio 4:5 by using the numerator and denominator of the simplified fraction. Therefore, 0.8 expressed in ratio terms is 4:5.
To express 0.8 as a ratio, we can start by writing it as a fraction.
0.8 can be written as 8/10 since the decimal point is after the first digit.
Next, we simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 8 and 10 is 2.
So, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2:
8 ÷ 2 = 4
10 ÷ 2 = 5
Therefore, the ratio equivalent of 0.8 is 4:5.
