Step 1 :Kendra counted the cars in her apartment parking lot and noticed that 2 out of 4 cars were black. We are asked to find the decimal equivalent of this fraction.
Step 2 :The fraction representing the proportion of black cars in the parking lot is \(\frac{2}{4}\), which means two out of four, or half, of the cars are black.
Step 3 :To find the decimal equivalent, we need to divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (4).
Step 4 :Performing the division, we get \(\frac{2}{4} = 0.5\)
Step 5 :Final Answer: The decimal equivalent of the fraction \(\frac{2}{4}\) is \(\boxed{0.5}\).
