2. Write the following fractions in words:

[tex]\[ \frac{2}{5} = \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{2} = \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{5}{10} = \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{4}{7} = \][/tex]



Answer :

Sure! Let's write each of the given fractions in words.

1. For [tex]\(\frac{2}{5}\)[/tex]:
- The numerator is [tex]\(2\)[/tex], which in words is "two".
- The denominator is [tex]\(5\)[/tex], which in words is "fifths".
- Therefore, [tex]\(\frac{2}{5}\)[/tex] is written as "two-fifths".

2. For [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]:
- The numerator is [tex]\(1\)[/tex], which in words is "one".
- The denominator is [tex]\(2\)[/tex], which in words is "half".
- Therefore, [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] is written as "one-half".

3. For [tex]\(\frac{5}{10}\)[/tex]:
- The numerator is [tex]\(5\)[/tex], which in words is "five".
- The denominator is [tex]\(10\)[/tex], which in words is "tenths".
- Therefore, [tex]\(\frac{5}{10}\)[/tex] is written as "five-tenths".

4. For [tex]\(\frac{4}{7}\)[/tex]:
- The numerator is [tex]\(4\)[/tex], which in words is "four".
- The denominator is [tex]\(7\)[/tex], which in words is "sevenths".
- Therefore, [tex]\(\frac{4}{7}\)[/tex] is written as "four-sevenths".

So, the fractions written in words are:
[tex]\[ \frac{2}{5} = \text{two-fifths}\\ \frac{1}{2} = \text{one-half}\\ \frac{5}{10} = \text{five-tenths}\\ \frac{4}{7} = \text{four-sevenths} \][/tex]
