write the number 0.5 in a/b form, using integers

Question

your choices are
5/10
5/100
5/1
5/11

Answer 1

To express the decimal 0.5 in the form of a fraction \( \frac{a}{b} \) using integers, we can write it as:

\[ 0.5 = \frac{5}{10} \]

This fraction simplifies to \( \frac{1}{2} \), but it is already in the form of \( \frac{a}{b} \) with integers.

So, the correct choice is 5/10.
