Answer 13

Divide 3/2 using long division or a calculator to get 1.5

The whole part is 1

--------------------------------------------------

Since the decimal portion is 0.5, you multiply it by the denominator 2 to get 0.5*2 = 1

The remainder is 1

--------------------------------------------------

So these two facts mean \(\Large \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}\)
