Express 3 divided by 2 as a fraction.

To write a fraction in its simplest form means the numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same whole number exactly or evenly.

Answer: The value of 3 divided by 2 as a fraction is 3/2 = 1 ½.

Let us write 3 divided by 2 as a fraction.

Explanation:

We can write 3 divided by 2 as 3 / 2.

As 3/ 2 is an improper fraction, so when we divide the 3 by 2, we'll get 1 as quotient and 1 as remainder.

To convert an improper fraction into a mixed fraction, we take quotient 1 as a whole part and in the fractional part remainder 1 as the numerator, and divisor 2 as the denominator.

The GCF of 1 and 2 is 1. So, divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF to simplify the fraction and convert it to a mixed fraction.

⇒ 3 / 2 = 1 ½
