Question

express each of the following rational number in p by q form 0.5 bar

​

Answer 1

(i). 0.5 = 5/10

Simplifying it in the same p/q form,

⇒ 0.5 = 1/2

It cannot be further simplified in p/q form.

1/2 is in the form p/q, where p = 1 and q = 2 are integers and q = 2 ≠ 0.

Hence, the answer is 1/2
