Question

what is ⅖ ?
how it is explain anybody...​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to write this as a decimal is to multiply it until the denominator is

10

. As decimals are written in a tens system (with a tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. place), fractions with a denominator of

10

can easily be written as decimals.

The way to make the denominator ten is to multiply both the top and bottom by

10

the bottom number

. In this case:

(

2

5

)

⋅

⎛

⎝

10

5

10

5

⎞

⎠

(

2

5

)

⋅

(

2

2

)

To simplify, we can multiply the two numerators and the two denominators.

2

⋅

2

5

⋅

2

When we simplify, we get:

4

10

This, in words, is four tenths. Therefore, we put

4

in the tenths place of the decimal.

In decimal form, this is

0.4

.

Answer 2

Answer:

"2 upon 5" is written as 2/5

means 2 divided by 5 = 0.5

2/5=0.5
