    Convert percentage to fraction, i.e, 80% become 0.8

    That’s not a fraction.

    ⅘ is a fraction.

      You know we say “a fraction of something” with a number(usually between 1 and zero) often denoted by letter epsilon. 4/5 equals 0.8 so there is nothing wrong in calling that a fraction too

      Edit: Its called Decimal Fractions
