Circle the value that is not equivalent to the other two values.

Question

50%, 0.5, 1/5

Answer 1

To determine which value is not equivalent to the others, let's convert them all to the same form (fraction or decimal):

1. \(50%\):
- 50% as a decimal is 0.5.
- As a fraction, 50% is \(\frac{50}{100}\), which simplifies to \(\frac{1}{2}\).

2. \(0.5\):
- This is already in decimal form.
- As a fraction, 0.5 is \(\frac{1}{2}\).

3. \(\frac{1}{5}\):
- As a decimal, \(\frac{1}{5}\) is 0.2 (since \( \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \)).

Now we see that:
- \(50% = 0.5 = \frac{1}{2}\)
- \(\frac{1}{5} = 0.2\)

Therefore, the value that is not equivalent to the others is \(\frac{1}{5}\).
