Set-builder notation typically uses a vertical bar "|" to separate the description of the elements in the set from the conditions that define them. In this case, the set is defined as consisting of elements (fractions) between 0 and 5, so the correct set-builder notation uses the phrase "x is a fraction between 0 and 5" separated by a vertical bar, like this: { x | x is a fraction between 0 and 5 }.
