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.

Mixed Fractions/Mixed Numerals in Japanese
"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.)
