1.5 as a Decimal

Answer

1.5 in decimals is already written as 1.5. It is a terminating decimal.

Explanation

To understand 1.5 as a decimal, recognize that it is already in decimal form. It consists of two parts:

the whole number 1 and the fractional part 0.5.

The number 1.5 represents one whole and five-tenths, and it is a straightforward example of a terminating decimal.

Since it is already given in decimal form, no conversion is needed.

The position of the digit after the decimal point signifies its place value, which is tenths in this case.
