How do I change a mixed number to a decimal?

Question

1 1/2

Answer 1

Add 1 + 1/2

Common denominator is 2

2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2

Use long division to find the decimal.

Answer 2

you first change 1 1/2 to a improper fraction, 3/2 then you use 3 divided by 2 which will give you the decimal which in this case is 1.5.
Or you could do 1 is already a whole is it's 1.something, and 1/2 you know is 0.50 so just add those 2 together and you get1.50! Wasn't that easy?? =D XD If you wanna change that to a percent then just simply multiply for 100.

Answer 3

1=1 whole and 1/2=.5 becuz 1/2 of 100 is 50 but in decimals, you can take off the zero at the end. then 1+.5=1.5

Answer 4

Find out what percent of 1 the fraction is, then add that to your number ex. 1 1\2 1\2 of 1= .5, so 1+.5=1.5

Answer 5

1=2/2
1 1/2=2/2+1/2=3/2

Answer 6

*Change 1 1/2 into an improper fraction:

First: take the whole number (1) and multiply it with the denomintaor (2) and add the result to the numerator (1):

1(2) = 2

2 + 1 = 3

Second: take the result (3) and place it over the numerator (2):

= 3/2

Third: divide:

= 1.5

Answer 7

You would change the fraction in to a decimal the same way you would a normal fraction except you would first have to change it to an improper fraction (this is from your example) 3/2 then you would simply divide the nominator(top) by the denominator(bottom) 3divided by 2= 1.5

Answer 8

break it into 1 + 1/2
solve the 1/2 first to make it as a decimal number
how?
like this
1 divide by 2 = 0.5

then solve = 1 + 0.5
the answer is =1.5

Answer 9

pretty much the 1st # comes b4 the decimal point. and then u take the fraction and put it into decimal form. if u don't know wut it is u can set it up a a division problem. with the top # inside and the bottom # outside. it's pretty simple once u get the hang of it

Answer 10

First, you must change it to an improper fraction.

Answer - 3/2


Then, you divide using long division. (Hopefully you have a calculator handy) Divide 3 by 2.

Answer - 1.5
