Answer:

0.75 Cups

Step-by-step explanation:

I've found this method useful whenever I need to divide a mixed number. Instead of dividing 1.5 in half, we can just divide 1 and 0.5 in half and then add up our answers.

[tex]1.5 \div 2 = (1 \div 2) + (0.5 \div 2) \\ 1.5 \div 2 = 0.5 + 0.25 \\ 1.5 \div 2 = 0.75[/tex]
