What decimal is represented by 1/2?

0.5

Step-by-step explanation: In order to write 1/2 as a decimal, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 1/2 with a denominator of 10.

Notice that if we multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 5, we get the equivalent fraction 5/10 which we can now write as a decimal.

Since the tenths place is one place to the right of the decimal, we can write 5/10 as the decimal 0.5.

Therefore, 1/2 can be written as the decimal 0.5.

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
