The question

Question: write 0.7 as a fraction.

0.7

1 Read the place value

0.7 has 1 digit after the point.

The last digit is in the tenths.

So we write it over 10.

1 digit after the point → over 10

0.7 is 7 tenths: 7/10.

= 710

Can we make it simpler?

No number goes into both 7 and 10, except 1.

So it stays like this.
