To solve the problem, you need to convert the fraction into a decimal then into a percent.

1 in fraction form is 1/1 which is 1.0 in decimal form and 100% in percent form.

1/2 is 0.5 (because we are halfing, or dividing 1 from 2) in decimal form. 0.5 is 50% in percent form.

Add the percentages up and you will have the sum of 150%.
