71 halves because 1/2 is a half. You have 30 whole melons and 1/2 of a melon

no of halves = 7 1/2 *2 = 15
each melon has 2 halves
so 71/2 i.e. seven and half melons will have
7*2= 14 halves + additional 1/2 = 15 halves

To solve this question, you have to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
To do this, all you have to do is calculate the following:
"denominator times whole number, plus numerator" while keeping the denominator.
Let's try that.
Denominator is 2, whole number is 7, and numerator is 1
2 x 7 = 14, plus 1 is 15. Therefore, our new improper fraction becomes 15/2, or "15 halves".
There are 15 halves in 7 1/2 melons.

If you mean 71/2 (seventy-one over 2), then it's 71 halves.
If you mean 7 ½ (seven and a half) then you have seven whole melons plus one half
= 7*(two halves) + (one half)
= 14 halves + one half
= 15 halves.
