How can 1/2 be written in decimal

Mathematics

Answer:

.5

Step-by-step explanation:

.5 is the answer because decimals have digits counting by 10's.....if that makes sense. Like whole numbers start with ones then tens, hundereds, thousands and so on. Decimals go 10ths, 100ths, and that goes on. So 1/2 of 10 is 5 another example is .10 in half (half is the same thing as dividing by two.) so you get .5

Im not the best at explaining things lol, but I hope this helps and havea great day!

Answer:

.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get the denominator to be a power of 10

1/2 *5/5 = 5/10

5/10 = .5

1/2 = .5

Another approach is to take the numerator and divide by the denominator.


   -----------------

2 |   1.0000


2 goes into 1   0 times

     0.

   -----------------

2 |   1.0000


2 goes into 10     5 times

     0.5

2x-5y=3 4y-x=-3 solve by elimination
loris [4]

Answer:

x = -1 and y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this equation we say

let

2x-5y=3.......................................... equation 1

4y-x=-3............................................equation 2

from equation 2

4y-x=-3............................................equation 2

4y + 3 = x

i.e

x = 4y + 3 .............................................  equation 3

put x = 4y + 3 in equation 1

2(4y +3) - 5y = 3

8y + 6 -5y = 3

3y +6 = 3

3y= 3-6

3y -3

divide both sides by the coefficient  of y  which is 3

3y/3 = -3/3

y = -1

put y = -1 into equation 3

x = 4y + 3 .............................................  equation 3

x = 4(-1) + 3

x = -4 + 3

x = -1

therefore the value of x = -1 and y = -1 respectively

Which is more 2/8 or 5/8
vodka [1.7K]
5/8 is more than 2/8 because 5 is more than 2. And because the both have the same denominator whichever has the higher numerator is the higher fraction, so 5/8 is more than 2/8.

Hope this helps!
