Answer:

0.8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ounce of basil Hayley wishes to purchase = 5/6 ounces

Since the scale is displaying as decimal, then the fraction of basil to be purchased will be could be converted to decimal;

5/6 = 0.83333

5/6 = 0.8 ounces

Once the display on the scale shows 0.8, then it is equivalent to 5/6 ounces of basil.
