Your Answer: 2 1/2 (The integer two, and the proper fraction one all over two.)

Explanation: If Brooke gave her dog two whole biscuits and then a half, it would sum up to the improper fraction 5/2 (Five all over two.) When you divide 5 by 2, you get 2.5, which is equivalent to 2 1/2.

Hope this helps ya :D
