Question

How to convert 2 years and 6 months in fraction

Explain nicely please

Answer 1

Answer:

• 2 years is 12+12= 24 months
• 24+6 months = 30 months (6 months is stated in the question)
• Now 30 months should be divided by 12 (because there are 12 months in an year)
• The fraction is 30/12.

Now we need to reduce it to the lowest terms

30/12 = 15/6 = 5/2

Converting 5/2 in mixed fraction, you get 2 1/2

(Not to be confused with 21/2)
