To convert 0.5¯ to a fraction, we need to determine the fraction that represents the repeating decimal.

Let's call the repeating decimal x:
x = 0.555...

Now, we multiply x by 10 to move the decimal point to the right:
10x = 5.555...

Subtracting x from 10x, we can eliminate the repeating decimals:
10x - x = 5.555... - 0.555...
9x = 5

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 9:
9x/9 = 5/9
x = 5/9

So, 0.5¯ is equal to 5/9.
