Question 49

1/5 converts to 0.2 as a decimal.

Dividing 1 by 5 results in 0.2, which is the decimal equivalent of the fraction 1/5.

A) 0.5

Option A is incorrect because 0.5 is equivalent to 1/2, not 1/5. The value of 1/5 is less than 0.5, making this option not applicable.

B) 1.5

Option B is also incorrect. A value of 1.5 represents a fraction of 3/2, which is significantly larger than 1/5. Therefore, this option does not represent the decimal conversion of 1/5.

C) 0.15

Option C is incorrect because 0.15 is equivalent to 15/100 or 3/20, which is still greater than 1/5. Hence, this option does not accurately reflect the decimal for 1/5.

D) 0.2

Option D is correct as it accurately represents the decimal equivalent of 1/5. When 1 is divided by 5, the result is 0.2, confirming that this option is the right answer.

Conclusion

The correct conversion of 1/5 to a decimal is 0.2, making Option D the only accurate choice. All other options either represent different fractions or decimals that do not align with the value of 1/5, thus validating Option D as the definitive answer.
