Answer :
[tex]1.5=1+0.5=1+\frac{5}{10}=1+\frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5}=1+\frac{1}{2}=\boxed{1 \frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
1.5 as a mixed number in simplest form is 1 5/10. In simplest form it is 1 1/2 because 5 is half of 10 and you keep the whole number the same and also how I got it was the 5 is in the tenths spot and so it is 5/10 and it is one whole so that is how I got my answer.
