How to write 1.5 as a mixed number?

1.5

is the same thing as "one and five-tenths," or "one and five over ten, or one and half," which is written as

1 \frac{1}{2}

as a fraction.

You can multiply 1.5 by a form of 1 to build and improper fraction while not changing the value:

1.5 = \frac{1.5}{1} = \frac{10}{10} \times \frac{1.5}{1} = \frac{10 \times 1.5}{10 \times 1} = \frac{15}{10}

We can now reduce this as:

\frac{15}{10} = \frac{5 \times 3}{5 \times 2} = \frac{5 \times 3}{5 \times 2} = \frac{3}{2}

If necessary, the incorrect fraction can be changed to the following mixed number:

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2 + 1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2}
