2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2*5=5/2=2/5

just ratios, i can explain further if needed

Answer 2

The answer is 2.5.

First of all, set a proportion between the two.

0.5/6 = x/30

Next, check how many times 30 is of 6 by dividing the numbers together.

30 / 6 = 5

Finally, multiply 5 with 0.5. You should end up with 2.5 at the end.
