Hello!

Here's how to solve this question without the use of a calculator.


7 * { (1)/(2) } = { (7 * 1)/(2) } = { (7)/(2) }

7/2 ÷ 1/3 = ?

Change division to multiplication.


{ (7)/(2) } * { (3)/(1) } = { (7 * 3)/(2 * 1) } = { (21)/(2) }

21/2 = 10.5 ≈ 10 (rounded)

Thanks for posting your question in the community :)
