Answer:

First, We convert it to an improper fraction

which in this case, is 15/2

Found by Multiplying the whole number (7) with the denominator (2) and adding it with the numerator (1)

After that Use the same denominator to get 15/2

and then we divide the new numerator (15) by the denominator (2_ to get our answer.

which is, 7.5.

All Done!
