Find Numbers Equal to 1/2: Fraction Equivalence Practice

Let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by a number that will help us make the denominator 10:

$\frac{1\times5}{2\times5}=\frac{5}{10}$

Next we'll rewrite the simple fraction as a decimal fraction:

$5.0$

Since we're dividing by 10, the decimal point will move one place to the left, giving us:

$.50$

Finally we'll add the 0 before the decimal point to get:

$0.50=0.5$
