An easy way to think of this is that 4/8 is exactly half. If divided by 4, it simplifies down to 1/2. A decimal is basically the numerator divided by the denominator, in this case 4 divided by 8 (or 1 divided by 2). Dividing it either way gives you a decimal of .5. Another way of thinking of this is that 4/8 is exactly half, which is 50%. To turn any percent into a decimal, you just divide it by 100, which gives you .5 also.
