Respuesta :
As you know, the 5 in 0.5 is in the tenths place in the number, so means
5/10
Selection B is appropriate.
5/10
Selection B is appropriate.
Answer:
The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given number is 0.5.
If a number can be defined as a/b where b≠0, then it is called a rational number.
We need to rewrite the given number in the form of a/b using integers.
Multiply and divide the given number by 10 to remove the decimal from the given number.
[tex]0.5\times \frac{10}{10}[/tex]
On simplification we get
[tex]\frac{0.5\times 10}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]
Here a=5 and b=10 both are integers.
The given number 0.5 is a ration number because it can be written as 5/10.
Therefore the correct option is B.
