0.49999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that didnt help much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 1/5

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

the question is asking which fraction is between 0 and 1/2 1/2 in decimal form is 0.5

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

1/4, there are an infinite amount of possibilities

OpenStudy (jozelynw):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no 1/4

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

just ask @UsukiDoll

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

that was fast... 1/4 is 0.25 so that works...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

she knows nothing about nothing!

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

@theopenstudyowl don't be rude.

OpenStudy (jozelynw):

byeeeee.......................

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

u 2, actually help me on my question for once and dont be rude yourself either...

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

because it wasn't related to Mathematics... you were posting off topic questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 1/5 and 2/3 7/8 6/10

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

since the question is asking which fraction is between 0 and 1/2 which is 0 and 0.5 in decimal form . all you have to do is to input those choices in your calculator and compare the decimals.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

so input 1/5,2/3,7/8 and 6/10 in your calculator to obtain those decimal forms. and then compare it to the question which is asking between 0 and 1/2 or 0 and 0.5 in decimal form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

do you have a calculator right now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

ok do you see the / button or the division button?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

alright ... so for one 1/5 press 1 then the divison or / button and then press 5

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

and after that press the = sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 0.2

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

:) and is 0.2 between 0 and 0.5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the most obvious numbers between 0 and 1/2 or 0.5 would be: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

that's the only choice... @minniepotato if you compare the result from 1/5 with the other choices you will see that 0.2 is between 0 to 0.5 where as 2/3, 7/8, and 6/10 is above 0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that wasnt the question it was with fraction is between 0 and 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not 1/5

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

1/5 is 0.2 in decimal form 1/2 is 0.5 in decimal form in decimal form terms it's which fraction is between 0 and 0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 1/5

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yeah so 0.2 is actually 1/5

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

try inputing the other fractions in the calculator and compare those other 3 with the one we just obtained.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

do you understand... or do we need to calculate the other 3 fractions and compare them to the 1/5 -> 0.2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

good ^_^
