Final answer:
The fraction (5)/(9) is equivalent to approximately 0.5556, which when rounded becomes about 0.56. None of the provided options (0.5, (5), (59), 5.9) accurately represent this fraction's decimal form. The correct multiple-choice option is none of these.
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction (5)/(9) is equivalent to a decimal that is less than 1. To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator. When you divide 5 by 9, you get a decimal number that is approximately 0.5556 (rounded to four decimal places). Of the provided options, none is exactly equivalent to (5)/(9), but if we needed the closest approximation in decimal form, none of the options 0.5, (5), (59), 5.9 are correct. The correct decimal would be approximately 0.56 when rounded to two decimal places. The correct multiple-choice option is none of these.
