Question

Select the best term from the box to complete the sentence. The number 0.5 is written as a?

1. decimal
2. decimal point
3. hundred
4. hundredth

Answer 1

1. decimal

Why? You wouldn't say 0.5 is written as a "decimal point" because the decimal point is legit the decimal point. It's definitely not a hundred and a hundredth would look like "0.05"

Answer 2

The answer is a decimal because 1/2 as a decimal is 0.5
