Answer:
-0.5
-1/2
Let's see how to turn a fraction into a decimal!
Let's do... 8/16
First, divide 8 by 16
8/16 = -0.5
so the answer should be: -0.5
What about turning a decimal into a fraction?
Well, let's see how to do it:
Remove the decimal point and put -5 over 10→ -5/10 (add as many zeros as necessary after the 1)
Now simplify to the lowest terms: -5/10 simplifies to -1/2
To remove any confusion, 1/2 is the same as 8/16, 8 is half of 16, and 1 is half of 2.
Hope this helped!
