5 is an integer and not a fraction. It can be represented as a rational fraction (5/1) but not as a decimal fraction.
5 = 5/1 into fraction and 5.0 in decimal
Decimal= .5. Fraction= 5/100 * * * * * No! Decimal = 0.05 Also, equivalent fraction = 1/20
Anytime there is a number to the left of a decimal, it is a whole number. When the number is to the right of a decimal, it's only part of a whole number, or a fraction. Sowith 5.5, the 5 would be 5 wholes and .5 would be 5/10, which reduces to 1/2. So to convert 5.5 to a fraction, it would be 5 1/2 (five and one half).
The value of the 5 as a fraction is 1/2 or as a decimal is 0.5
