Question

1.) How many one-thirds are in seven halves?

2.) How many three-fourths are in five halves?

Answer 1

1) Twenty-one halves of one-thirds are in seven halves.

2) Fourteen-thirds of three-fourths are in five halves.

Explanation:

1) To find : How many one-thirds are in seven halves?

Solution :

Let the required number be 'x',

According to question,

`(1)/(3)* x=(7)/(2)`

Solving the equation,

`x=(7* 3)/(2)`

`x=(21)/(2)`

Therefore, Twenty-one halves of one-thirds are in seven halves.

2) To find : How many three-fourths are in five halves?

Solution :

Let the required number be 'x',

According to question,

`(3)/(4)* x=(5)/(2)`

Solving the equation,

`x=(7* 4)/(2* 3)`

`x=(14)/(3)`

Therefore, Fourteen-thirds of three-fourths are in five halves.

Answer 2

1/3 in 7/2

2/6 in 21/6

approximately 10 and 1/6 more

3/4 in 5/2

3/4 in 10/4

approximately 3 and 1/4

hope this helps
