you write one over 5
We write .5 or 0.5 as the decimal for one half.
It is: 4/5 = 0.8 as a decimal
5 and 9/10 as a decimal is 5.9
5 ten thousandths as a decimal is 0.0005
1/5 written as a decimal is 0.2
5 = 5.000 (as many zeros as you want after the decimal point)
It is: 5 and 5/10 = 5.5 as a decimal
To write a decimal you go to the end of the whole number 5 for example and then you put a period (5.) then you add the rest of the decimal like 5.6
To write 2/5 as a decimal, divide 2 by 5. The result is 0.4.
