To convert 0.4 to a simplified fraction, we can represent 0.4 as 4/10. To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. So, 4/10 simplifies to 2/5.
To convert 0.4 to a simplified fraction, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Write the decimal as a fraction with the decimal part as the numerator and the place value of the last digit as the denominator. In this case, the decimal is 0.4, so we write it as 4/10.
Step 2: Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). In this case, the GCF of 4 and 10 is 2. Divide both 4 and 10 by 2 to get 2/5.
So, the simplified fraction for 0.4 is 2/5.
