Answer 2

The answer is:

⇨ 3/2

Work/explanation:

The fraction is:

`\sf{1(1)/(2)}`

This is a mixed number.

I start by multiplying 1 times 2 (the whole part by the denominator):

`\bf{1\frac{\sf{1}}{\bf{2}}`

Obviously I get 2. Now I add the numerator, 1. I get 3. That's the numerator of the new fraction. As for the denominator, it stays the same.

`\bf{(3)/(2)}`

Hence, the answer is 3/2.
