Write 1.2 as a fraction in simplest form.

To convert 1.2 into a fraction in simplest form:

1. **Express 1.2 as a fraction**:
   \[
   1.2 = \frac{12}{10}
   \]

2. **Simplify the fraction** by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2:
   \[
   \frac{12 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{6}{5}
   \]

So, \(1.2\) as a fraction in simplest form is \(\frac{6}{5}\).
