The number \(1\frac{1}{2}\) is already presented as a mixed number, which consists of a whole number and a proper fraction.
As a fraction, you can convert \(1\frac{1}{2}\) into an improper fraction. To do this, you multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator of the fraction (2), then add the numerator (1):
\[
1 \times 2 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3
\]
So, \(1\frac{1}{2}\) as an improper fraction is \(\frac{3}{2}\).
In summary:
- As a mixed number: \(1\frac{1}{2}\)
- As an improper fraction: \(\frac{3}{2}\)
