I write it with a dash between the whole number and the fraction, so it would be 1-1/2.

What if the fraction was a cup and a half of another how would that be written again? Just my curiosity!--"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something.

They need to be written as 1/2, and like that. Thanks for asking!

For Braille readers, is the 1 / 2 format better than the symbol 1 over 2 in one individual space (sorry I can't make this symbol in e-mail). Any preference? Thanks for your thoughts, Pam
