The fraction of one and a half, expressed as an improper fraction, is 3/2.
Here's how to arrive at that answer:
- One and a half can be written as a mixed number: 1 1/2
- Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
- Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (2): 1 * 2 = 2
- Add the numerator (1): 2 + 1 = 3
- Place the result (3) over the original denominator (2): 3/2
Therefore, the fraction representing one and a half is 3/2. This fraction means "three halves" or "three divided by two," which is equivalent to 1.5 in decimal form.
