You can think of it as #0.5=1/2#

If the decimal is giving you a problem do this

12

#color(green)( 6 -:color(red)(0.5)color(white)("dddd") ->color(white)("dddd") 6 -:color(red)(5/10) )#

#color(green)(color(white)("dddddddddd")->color(white)("dddd") 6xxcolor(red)(10/5))#

#color(green)(color(white)("dddddddddd")->color(white)("dddd")6xxcolor(white)("d")2color(white)("dd")=12 )#
