Solution

The correct option is D 0.5
Fractional form of two-fourths is:
24

Further divide both numerator and denominator by 2 to bring the fraction to its lowest form.

24 = 12
where numerator = 1 and
denominator = 2

Now, to convert the fraction into a decimal number, make the denominator 10.

So, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 to make the denominator as 10.

1×52×5 = 510

We already know that 110 represents one-tenth, which is equal to 0.1.

Therefore, 510 represents 5 tenths.

And, 510 =0.5

Two-fourths can be written as 0.5 in a decimal form.
