Sagot :

To convert the decimal 0.5 into a fraction, follow these steps:

1. Express the decimal as a fraction: Write 0.5 as a fraction with 1 as the denominator. This gives us [tex]\(\frac{0.5}{1}\)[/tex].

2. Eliminate the decimal point: To do this, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 (since there is one decimal place in 0.5). This gives us [tex]\(\frac{0.5 \times 10}{1 \times 10} = \frac{5}{10}\)[/tex].

3. Simplify the fraction: Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 5 and 10, which is 5. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD. So, [tex]\(\frac{5 \div 5}{10 \div 5} = \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex].

Thus, the fraction equivalent to 0.5 is [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex].
