How to convert 2 1/2 into a fraction

Answer:5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 is the same amount as two whole objects and half of a third.

• You could break those two whole objects into halves as well. If each object had two halves, then two objects would give you a total of four pieces (2x2=4).

• That means you have four halves from the whole objects and one-half of a third.

• You would have a total of five halves. You can write five halves as 5/2.
