How to change a decimal to a whole number for example 0.5

You can't actually change the value of the decimal, but you can rewrite it in various different formats.

0.5 is the same as 5 times 1/10, or 5 times 10^(-1), and so on.

In the same way, 1/2 is never equal to a whole number. It is equal to 0.5, which has a decimal but not a fraction. You could multiply by 0.5 the same way you multiply by 5, except that you might have at least one extra decimal place in the answer
