Question

write $6\frac{1}{2}$ as a decimal.
$6\frac{1}{2}=\square$

Explanation:

Step1: Convert the fraction part

The mixed number is \( 6\frac{1}{2} \). First, convert the fractional part \( \frac{1}{2} \) to a decimal. We know that \( \frac{1}{2}=1\div2 \).
\( 1\div2 = 0.5 \)

Step2: Add the whole number part

Now, add the whole number part (6) to the decimal we just found. So, \( 6 + 0.5=6.5 \)

Answer:

\( 6.5 \)
