Question

½ in decimal form e

Answer 1

Answer: Method 1: Writing 1/2 as a decimal using the division method.

To convert any fraction to decimal form, we just need to divide its numerator by the denominator.

Here, the fraction is 1/2 which means we need to perform 1 ÷ 2

This gives the answer as 0.5. So, 1/2 as a decimal is 0.5

Method 2: Writing 1/2 as a decimal by converting the denominator to powers of 10.

Step 1: Find a number such that we can multiply by the denominator of the fraction to make it 10 or 100 or 1000 and so on.

Step 2: Multiply both numerator and denominator by that number to convert it into an equivalent fraction.

Step 3: Then write down just the numerator, putting the decimal point in the correct place, that is, one space from the right-hand side for every zero in the denominator.

1/2 = (1 × 5) / (2 × 5) = 5/10 = 0.5

Answer 2

Answer:

now it is in fractional form but we can convert into decimal form by multipling 5 to numerator and denominator

$\frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5}$

$\frac{5}{10}$

so now 5/10=0.5
