Is 3/6 larger than 0.5?

Step 1: Write the given number as the numerator and place 1 in the denominator right below the decimal point followed by the number of zeros required accordingly.

In this case, 0.5 has one number after the decimal, so, we place 10 in the denominator and remove the decimal point. This will make it 5/10

Step 2: Then, this fraction can be simplified. 5/10 = 1/2

Thus, 0.5 as a fraction is written as 1/2.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

1/2 = 0.5

3/6 = 0.5

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.5 is equal to 0.5.

Therefore, 1/2 is not greater than 3/6 and the answer to the question "Is 1/2 greater than 3/6?" is no. ( I reworded the question )

First things first, if you don't know what a numerator and a denominator are in a fraction, we need to recap that:

3 (numerator)

6 (denominator)

Here's the little secret you can use to instantly transform any fraction to a decimal: Simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

= 3/6

= 3 ÷ 6

= 0.5

( They are the same when converted to decimal form and fraciton form) Have of 6 is 3 and half of 1 is .5)
