Question
Write the following as decimals:
$25\frac{1}{2}$
✓
Answer
$25\frac{1}{2}=25+\frac{1}{2}$
To write in decimal, we need to make the denominator 10 by multiplying it by a number. But, to maintain the value of the fraction, we should also multiply the numerator by the same number. Thus we get,
$=25+\frac{1\times5}{2\times5}$
$=25+\frac{5}{10}$
$=25.5$
