Explanation:

7
(1)/(2) ÷ 2

A. 2 × ? = 7
(1)/(2)

Divide 2 on both sides to bring all the constants on one side...

? = 7 1/2 ÷ 2

B. 7 1/2 x ? = 2

Divide 7 1/2 on both sides to isolate the ?

? = 2 ÷ 7 1/2

C. 2 x 7 1/2

You already know that the initial problem is asking for an answer that is half of 7 1/2 not twice 7 1/2

D. ? x 7 1/2 = 2

Divide 7 1/2 on both sides

? = 2÷ 7 1/2

E. It's basically the same thing as A

Whatever is bolded is the answer

I hope this made sense and I hope this helps!!!
