Step 1We can write       0.12    ÷    8   as             0.12      8      Next, we can multiply this by the appropriate form of 1 to eliminate the decimal:            10      100        ×          0.12      8        ⇒                  100        ×        0.12                    100        ×        8              ⇒          12      800      We can now factor this and eliminate common terms giving:            12      800        ⇒                  4        ×        3                    4        ×        200              ⇒                                                                                                            4                                                                                      ×        3                                                                                                              4                                                                                      ×        200              ⇒          3      200      We can now multiply this by another form of 1 giving:            5      5        ×          3      200        ⇒                  5        ×        3                    5        ×        200              ⇒          15      1000      15 thousandths can be written as: 0.015
