Step 1: Understand that dividing by a number means finding out how many times that number fits into another number.
Step 2: Rewrite the division problem as a fraction: 1.5 ÷ 0.5 is the same as 1.5 / 0.5.
Step 3: To make it easier, you can multiply both the top (numerator) and the bottom (denominator) of the fraction by 10 to eliminate the decimal. This gives you (1.5 * 10) / (0.5 * 10) = 15 / 5.
Step 4: Now, divide 15 by 5. How many times does 5 fit into 15? It fits 3 times.
