Answer: A) 1/10
=============================================
Work Shown:
(4/5) divided by 8
(4/5) divided by (8/1)
(4/5) * (1/8) .... flip the second fraction and multiply
(4*1)/(5*8)
(4*1)/(5*4*2)
1/(5*2) ... the '4's cancel
1/10
--------------
Alternative method:
4/5 = 0.8 when using a calculator or long division
(4/5) divided by 8 = 0.8/8 = 0.1
0.1 = 1/10
The digit 1 in 0.1 is in the tenths place, so that's why 0.1 = 1/10
Or you could use your calculator to see that 1/10 = 0.1
Another idea is to do
0.1 = 0.1/1 = 0.1/1.0 = 1.0/10.0 = 1/10
here I moved the decimal point 2 spots to the right for the numerator and denominator.
