Question #f0606

Answer 1

`8/50` as a decimal is `0.16`.

Explanation:

We can multiply `8/50` by `2/2` to see that `8/50 = 16/100`.

In English, we say this as `16` hundredths. This is `16` pieces out of `100`.

We could also write `16` hundredths as a decimal. The first place after the decimal point is called the tenths place, and the second place after the decimal point is called the hundredths place. Therefore, `16` hundredths can be written also as `0.16`.
