What is 1 5/2 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 1 5/2 as a decimal is
3.5
Exact, terminating: denominator 2 has only 2s and 5s · 1 decimal place
1 5/2: whole part, then 5 ÷ 2
5 = 2 × 2 + 1: whole part 1 + 2 = 3, then divide the remainder 1
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 2 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 5 × 2 + 0 | 5 |
The remainder reaches 0 after 1 step → 0.5 ends.
3 + 0.5 = 3.5
