Given:

0.5

Let's write the decimal in form of a fraction a/b using integers.

To write the number in fractional form, we have:


0.5=5*10^(-1)

Since the exponent is the negative of 1, using the definition of negative exponent, we have:


5*10^(-1)=(5)/(10^1)=(5)/(10)

Therefore, the correct fraction is:


(5)/(10)

ANSWER:


(5)/(10)
