how do i change fractions to decimals? what would 3 1/2 be as a decimal?

Answer 1

Take 3 1/2 and make it into a improper fraction. This will make 7/2 ( 3*2+1 Makes 7 put it over the one). Take the seven divide by two. That goes 3 times. When you subtract, you should get one. A decimal point goes behind the seven and put a zero beside the decimal point. Bring down the zero, it will make ten. divide the 2 into the ten. it goes evenly 5. Your answer is 3.5.
You could just take the 1/2 and divide then you would get .5 then put it behind your 3 which would give you a 3.5

Answer 2

that's a lot of questions, what's with all the fraction to decimal conversions?....well, 3 is the whole part, so it is 3. something. Taking the fraction 1/2, that is literally 1 divided by 2. Do the arithmetic and get .5 Put it together and it is written 3.5

Do the same for every fraction thereafter.

Answer 3

the answer is 3.5 quick method , while the

longest method is

1. change it to improper fraction
3 1/2 = (3 x 2) + 1 / 2 = 6 + 1 / 2 = 7/2 =3.5
even longest method convert it to % then to decimal
2. 7 x 100 / 2 =700/2 = 350% then move decimal point
two times to the left =3.5

Answer 4

3.5 its easy cuz u know 1/2 is .5 and u cant make 3 a decimal so just change da 1/2 to .5

Answer 5

3.5 This is done by dividing 1 by 2. If you write this out you will get a 5 and you must put the decimal where it goes.

Answer 6

answer is 3.5 (1/2 = .5) always take the first fractional number and divide it by the second fractional number. example is 1/4 divide 1 by 4 = .25

Answer 7

multiply denomenator( in this case 2)by 3 then add numerator which is 1
then put that answer on top of the denomenator(2)=7/2
then divide
3.5
