Answer: [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] or 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{5}{1} X\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5X1}{1X2} =\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[ 5 is multipled to 1 being both in numerator and then its divided by 2 ]
If we divide 5 by 2 using long division we get 2 as quotient and 1 as remainder ,which gives [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
or in decimal we can write it as 2.5 also because 1/2 can be written as 0.5
