$8/20=4/10=0.4$

$8/20 (div2)/(div2)=x/10$

$x=4$

A fraction with the denominator as a power of 10 can be written as a decimal.

$8/20=4/10=0.4$

The answer is $0.40$

$8/20$

First, divide both numbers by a common number $2$ . That is

$4/10$

This is further divisible by the number $2$

$2/5$

Now divide $2$ by $5$ to get $0.40$ . Hence the answer is $0.40$
