The correct answer is: $\frac{5}{8}$
Explanation
Convert the decimal to a fraction by writing the decimal over 1000 (since there are three decimal places) and then simplify by dividing by the greatest common divisor.
Steps:
- Write as a fraction: $$0.625=\frac{625}{1000}$$
- Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their GCD (125): $$\frac{625}{1000}=\frac{625\div125}{1000\div125}=\frac{5}{8}$$
- Final result: $$0.625=\frac{5}{8}$$
Therefore, .625 expressed as a fraction in simplest form is $\frac{5}{8}$.
