Answer 13

How do you change 0.5 into a fraction?

Answer 14

Here's how to convert 0.5 to a fraction...

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.5 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .5, means.

Since there are 1 digits in 5, the very last digit is the "10th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .5 is the same as 5/10.

The fraction is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest
terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5.

Why divide by 5? 5 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 5 and 10.
So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is

So your final answer is: 0.5 can be written as the fraction

Answer 15
