#8/50# as a decimal is #0.16#.

Explanation:

We can multiply #8/50# by #2/2# to see that #8/50 = 16/100#.

In English, we say this as #16# hundredths. This is #16# pieces out of #100#.

We could also write #16# hundredths as a decimal. The first place after the decimal point is called the tenths place, and the second place after the decimal point is called the hundredths place. Therefore, #16# hundredths can be written also as #0.16#.
