Question

Write 7 1/2 as a fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{15}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to turn 7 1/2 into a(improper) fraction would need to do this:

first say the entire problem aloud

"7 wholes and 1 half"

Now think, how many half's are in one whole?

2.

so if there were 2 half's in each whole and there were 7 wholes, you would multiply 7x2

14.

Then simply add the other half you started with

15 halfs.

then turn it into a fraction.

$\frac{15}{2}$

hope this helps ^-^
