<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top), here 1 1/2 represents how many parts out of the whole, and the denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 2 for the fractional part. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>For the fractional part 1/2, identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>. The numerator (1) is the<a>dividend</a>, and the denominator (2) is the divisor.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Perform the division 1 ÷ 2. Since 1 is smaller than 2, we use decimals, making it 10 divided by 2.</p>
