One and a half inches can be written in numeric form as
1.5 inches. The decimal point separates the
whole number (1) from the fraction (0.5). This is a common way to express measurements in decimal form.
If you need to change the measurement unit to a different system, such as
centimeters or millimeters, you can use a
conversion factor. For example,
- one inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters
- so one and a half inches would be equal to 3.81 centimeters ()
In
