One method to convert 23/2 to a decimal is by using the division method. Before we move ahead to the method, here is a quick recap on fractions: A fraction is a number representation that is broken down into two parts - the number on top is called the numerator, and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. To get a decimal using the division method, simply divide the numerator 23 by the denominator 2:
23 (numerator) ÷ 2 (denominator) = 11.5
And there you go! We got 11.5 as the answer when you convert 11 1/2 (or 23/2) to a decimal.
