Kyle and his brother have a marble set. Of the marbles, 12 are blue. This represents 50/100 of all the marbles. What decimal is equivalent to 50/100

So, 50/100 can be simplified to 1/2 (a half). Therefore, the decimal notation for 1/2 would be .5 (This is just one of many ways to solve this type of problem) Hope this helps, let me know if you need more help : )
