QUESTION 5
Convert the decimal to a fraction and reduce, if necessary
0.2

Did you know that converting decimals to fractions is like piecing together a puzzle? For 0.2, you recognize it as two-tenths, so you start off with the fraction 2/10. But here’s the fun part: both the numerator and the denominator can be cut in half, simplifying it down to 1/5! It’s like watching a balloon deflate—less is definitely more!

Now, if you’re ever stuck, remember this nifty trick: you can express any decimal as a fraction by placing it over a power of ten. For instance, 0.2 becomes 2/10 (ten because there’s one digit after the decimal). Just simplify, and voilà! You’ve got 1/5. Keep that fraction magic alive!
