How to convert this fraction
Divide 3 by 2 using integer long division. The whole-number part is 1; the remaining fraction is 1/2.
- Bring down a zero: remainder × 10 gives the next decimal digit 5; the new remainder is 0.
The remainder reaches zero after 1 decimal places, so 3/2 = 1.5 exactly.
As a mixed-number decomposition: 3/2 = 1 + 1/2.
Check: 1 × 2 + 1 = 3, so the quotient and remainder reconstruct the original fraction.
