To simplify the mixed number \(9 \frac{1}{2}\), you can convert it to an improper fraction.
1. Multiply the whole number (9) by the denominator (2):
\(9 \times 2 = 18\).
2. Add the numerator (1) to this result:
\(18 + 1 = 19\).
3. Place this result over the original denominator:
\(\frac{19}{2}\).
So, the simplified form of \(9 \frac{1}{2}\) as an improper fraction is \(\frac{19}{2}\). If you're looking to keep it as a mixed number, then \(9 \frac{1}{2}\) is already in its simplest form.
