Question

How do you express .5 as a fraction?

Answer 1

`1/2`

Explanation:

A number that is a decimal can be expressed as a fraction depending on the decimal point. Since there is only 1 number behind the decimal point, the fraction will be out of 10.

`0.5=5/10`

Simplify by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 5:

`(5-:5)/(10-:5)=1/2`
