Example Question #1305 : Numbers And Operations

What fractions equals 0.5 ?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{8}{12}$

$\frac{8}{2}$

$\frac{8}{16}$

$\frac{8}{32}$

$\frac{8}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{8}{16}$

Explanation:

0.5 is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Thus we are looking for a fraction that reduces to $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\frac{8}{12}$ reduces to $\frac{2}{3}$ (divide numerator and denominator by 4).

$\frac{8}{4}$ reduces to 2 (divide numerator and denominator by 4).

$\frac{8}{2}$ reduces to 4 (divide numerator and denominator by 2).

$\frac{8}{32}$ reduces $\frac{1}{4}$ (divide numerator and denominator by 4).

$\frac{8}{16}$ is the only one that reduces to $\frac{1}{2}$ (divide numerator and denominator by 8).
