That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

It is given that, 0.5 of the dolls have brown hairs.

To find what fraction of the dolls have brown hairs, we need to convert the decimal 0.5 to a fraction.

Now, the decimal 0.5 can be written in the place value chart as follows:

Ones . Tenths
0 . 5

So, 0.5 is 5 tenths.

Now, write 5 tenths as a fraction.

5 tenths = 
5
10

Now, simplify the fraction.

5
10
=
5 ÷ 5
10 ÷ 5
=
