Answer: 0.8
Step-by-step explanation: To convert a fraction to a decimal, we divide the denominator into the numerator.
So here, we divide 5 into 4 but notice that 5 doesn't divide into 4 so we need to write a decimal point and a 0 after the 4 so that we can divide 5 into 40.
5 divides into 40 8 times so we put an 8 above the zero. 8 x 5 is 40 so we put a 40 under the 4.0 we have and 40 - 40 is 0.
Finally, we bring up the decimal point and we have .8 or 0.8.
So 4/5 can be written as the decimal 0.8
