Question

What improper fraction does the arrow represent?

• A. $\frac{5}{2}$
• B. $1\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{3}{2}$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{3}{2}$

Each unit is divided into two equal parts so, the denominator is 2, hence each part is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ of a unit.
Arrow is pointing on the first part after 1.

Hence the fraction is $1\frac{1}{2}$

Converting $1\frac{1}{2}$ to its improper fraction

$1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2\times 1+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$
