Given the fraction:
[tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex]Let's simplify the fraction.
To simplify, divide the denominator and the numerator by the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
GCF of 4 and 8 = 4
Hence, we have:
[tex]\frac{4\div4}{8\div4}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5[/tex]Hence, the simplified fraction is:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]As a decimal:
[tex]0.5[/tex]ANSWER:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
