Mixed Fractions/Mixed Numerals in Japanese

Question

So I know how to read normal fractions (like 1/2) in Japanese but I was wondering how to read mixed fractions (such as 3 1/2). Would one just say 三と二分の一? Thanks.

Answer 1

"3 1/2" is generally read:

「[3]{さん}か[2分]{にぶん}の[1]{いち}」 by older people

and

「3と2分の1」 by younger people.

The 「と」 would clearly be the particle 「と」 meaning "and".

The 「か」, however, would probably be the counter 「箇{か}」. (Where the 「か」 came from, we were never taught in school.)
