Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Firstly we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by a number that will help us reach 100 in the denominator:

2×425×4=8100 \frac{2\times4}{25\times4}=\frac{8}{100}

Now let's rewrite the simple fraction as a decimal fraction:

8.0 8.0

Since we are dividing by 100, the decimal point will move two places to the left, giving us:

.080 .080

Finally we will add the 0 before the decimal point to get:

0.080=0.08 0.080=0.08

Answer

0.08
