Hello today we're going to be rewriting the percentage as a decimal and a fraction. So what we are given is 40 And in order to convert a percentage into a decimal we're going to go ahead and divide that value by 100. So dividing 40 x 100 is going to give us the decimal 0.4. And this is going to be the decimal notation for the given percentage. Now let's go ahead and convert this decimal into a fraction. So the decimal that we found was 0.4. But notice that four is in the 10th place. So since four is in the 10th place that means that we're going to represent this as a fraction with 10 in its denominator. But what value do we put in the numerator? Well that's gonna be the value that's located in the 10th place and it's gonna be four. So 0.4 is going to convert to 4/10 infraction notation and 4/10 can be reduced because four in 10 share the common multiple of two. So both of them are divisible by two. So if we divide both the numerator and denominator by two, what we are left with is to over five which is going to be the fraction notation for the given death percentage. So again the decimal notation for the given percentage is 0.4 and the fraction notation is going to be two and 2/5 with that being said, the answer to this problem is going to be b.
