An easy way to convert decimals with 1 decimal place to fractions is to multiply them by 10 and then put that number over 10, and if we did this we would get

(25)/(10)
Now, since both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 5, we can divide them both by 5 to get

(5)/(2)
Which is our final answer

We are looking for the fraction form or 2.5.

2.5 = 2 5/10 = 2 1/2

It would be 2 1/2 or 5/2. Hope this helps!
