2
= 11
2
as a fraction
To convert the decimal 1.50 to a fraction, just follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:
1.50 = 1.5
1
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:
As we have 2 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 100. So,
1.5
1
= (1.50 × 100)
(1 × 100)
= 150
100
.
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(150,100) = 50. So,
(150÷50)
(100÷50)
= 3
2
when reduced to the simplest form.
As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 150
100
is also equal to 11
2
when expressed as a mixed number.
