Convert 0.5 to a fraction.

Answer 1

To convert a decimal like 0.5 to a fraction, we can write it as a fraction with a denominator of 10 or 100 or any power of 10.

0.5 is the same as 0.5/1.

To convert it to a fraction with a denominator of 10, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 10:
0.5/1 * 10/10 = 5/10.

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.

5/10 = (5 ÷ 5)/(10 ÷ 5) = 1/2.

Therefore, 0.5 is equivalent to 1/2.
