Option B
5 hundredths is not the way to express 0.50
Solution:
Given that Three of the choices are ways to express 0.50
To find: wrong option
Let us first write 0.50 in different ways
To convert a Decimal to a Fraction follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal 1.
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. ...
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction.
[tex]\rightarrow 0.50 = \frac{0.50 \times 100}{100} = \frac{50}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{50}{100}[/tex] means 50 hundredths
Therefore option D is correct
On simplifying [tex]\frac{50}{100}[/tex] we can write,
[tex]\rightarrow \frac{50}{100} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] means one half
Therefore option A (one half) is correct
Similarly, \frac{5}{10} means 5 tenths
Therefore Option C is also correct
Thus the wrong option is B
Justification:
5 hundredths can be written as:
[tex]\frac{5}{100} = 0.05[/tex]
Therefore option B is wrong
