When you read a decimal number, the first digit to the right of the decimal point is tenths and the second digit to the right of the decimal point is hundreths. So you can read 0.83 as 8 tenths + 3 hundredths or 80 hundredths + 3 hundredths or 83 hundredths.
When you write this as a fraction, it becomes: 83%2F100
So,
0.83+=+83%2F100
