<p>Let's say you had a question like this:</p>
<p>There are 10 boys and 10 girls in a class. What fraction of the class is made up of boys?</p>
<p>Does it matter if you put 1/2 or 0.5?</p>
<p>On the SAT I used a decimal form when it asked for a fraction. Is this okay?</p>
<p>I might have done the same…can’t remember uhhhh</p>
<p>it doesnt matter how you express your answer, whether in fraction or in decimal form, as long as it is correct
but iam not really sure if the correct form of the answer is 0.5 or .5 only</p>

You can’t fill in the circle for 0 as the first number, so it had to be .5 if you did a decimal.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter which form you put it in.</p>
