In fraction form, .2 can be written as 2/10 or 20/100 or 200/1000...and so on.  Doing the division on all of those fractions gives you a solution of .2

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to write the number 0.2 in the form of fraction a/b

0.2 can be written as [tex]\frac{0.2}{1}[/tex]

We have one number 2 after the decimal point

To remove the decimal point , multiply both top and bottom by 2

[tex]\frac{0.2 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
