Answer: 0.5as a fraction is written as 1/2
Let us see how to convert a decimal number into a fraction.
Explanation:
Use the steps mentioned below to convert a decimal number into a fraction.
Step 1: Write the given number as the numerator and place 1 in the denominator right below the decimal point followed by the number of zeros required accordingly.
In this case, 0.5 has one number after the decimal, so, we place 10 in the denominator and remove the decimal point. This will make it 5/10
Step 2: Then, this fraction can be simplified. 5/10 = 1/2
The number 0.5 is a decimal that is equivalent to 1/2. It cannot be written as a whole number because it represents a part of a whole. You can write 0.5 as the fraction 5/10 or as the ratio 5:10. You could multiply the fraction 5/10 by its reciprocal, 10/5 to get the whole number 1, but the 1 is not equal to 5/10.
The decimal 0.5 is equal to the fraction 1/2. To find this answer, you first look at the place value of the decimal. 0.5 is read as 'five tenths', and the fraction is written as 5/10.
On your calculator, perform the operation 1 ÷ 2, and the calculator will show the result 0.5. Convert the fraction 1/4 into a decimal by performing the operation 1 ÷ 4. The result is 0.25.
