Given expression:
To simplify the expression as a fraction in simplest form, let us multiply both terms by 10. Then, both terms must also be divided by 10.
[tex]\implies \dfrac{[10(0.8) - 10(0.6)]}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \dfrac{[8 - 6]}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \dfrac{[2]}{10} = \dfrac{2}{10}[/tex]
When 2/10 is simplified in lowest terms, we get;
[tex]\implies \dfrac{2}{10} \implies \dfrac{1 \times 2}{5 \times 2} \implies \dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
Therefore, 0.8 - 0.6 in fraction form is 1/5.
