What is 0.50 as a fraction

The answer is 1/2. Step 1. Write the decimal as fraction divided by 1: 0.50 = 0.50/1. Step 2. Multiply both divisor and dividend by 10 for each decimal number. Here there are two decimals, so we will multiply both divisor and dividend by 10*10 = 100: (0.50*100)/(1*100) = 50/100. Step 3. Simplify the fraction: 50/100 = (50:50)/(100:50) = 1/2.
