Convert to a fraction

Answer 1

0.500

First of all we note that there is three decimal places, so the fractional component has three denominated places. #

Next we write the denominator as ' 1.000 ' Note the three zeroes.

Next write the whole as a fraction

0.500 / 1.000

Cancel down the decimal point

0500 / 1000

Ignore the prefix zero in the numerator

500/1000

Cancel down by '100'

5/10

Cancel down by '5'

1/2 The Answer!!¬¬¬

Hence 0.5 = 1/2

NB in 0.500 The suffix zeroes can be ignored , and the decimal written as '0.5 ' .
