Step-by-step solution

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

1×52×5=510 \frac{1\times5}{2\times5}=\frac{5}{10}

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

5.0 5.0

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

.50 .50

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

0.50=0.5 0.50=0.5
