You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(0.2 + \frac{1}{0.4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[0.2 + \frac{1}{0.4} = \frac{27}{10} = 2.7\]


\[\begin{aligned}0.2 + \frac{1}{0.4}& = \frac{2}{10} + \frac{1}{\frac{4}{10}}\\& = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{\frac{4}{10}}\\& = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}\\& = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{5}{2}\\& = \frac{27}{10}\end{aligned}\]
