To write 0.85 as a fraction, you need to understand that the decimal point separates the whole number part from the fractional part. In this case, 0.85 can be expressed as 85/100 because the decimal point is two places to the right of the 5 in the hundredths place. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5 to get 17/20, which is the simplest form of the fraction representing 0.85.

Oh, dude, it's like super easy. So, you just take 0.85 and realize that it's 85 hundredths, right? And then you can simplify it by dividing the top and bottom by 5, which gives you 17/20. Ta-da! That's 0.85 as a fraction.

Well, honey, 0.85 as a fraction is 85/100 because you just move that decimal two places to the right to get rid of it. Then you simplify that bad boy by dividing the top and bottom by 5 to get 17/20. And there you have it, a sassy little fraction for ya.

0.85 = 85/100 = 17/20 as a fraction in its lowest terms

To get to this, I started with 85/100, which reduces to 17/20 after I divided both sides by 5.

Not sure about simplist but the simplest form is derived as follows:

0.85 = 85/100 and then divide the numerator and denominator by their HCF = 5 to give 17/20.
