In fractions, 0.5 is equivalent to 5/10 or 1/2, and 40 hundredths is equivalent to 40/100 or 2/5. To compare them, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10. By converting both fractions to have a denominator of 10, you can see that 0.5 (5/10) is greater than 40 hundredths (4/10), making 0.5 the larger fraction.

0.5 is bigger. And it remains bigger whether expressed as a decimal, a fraction or in words.
