2\text{ }(1)/(2)\text{ (option B)}Step-by-step explanation:
(7)/(2)-1

We convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction. Or we find the LCM of both numbers.

LCM of 1 and 2 = 2


(7-2(1))/(2)
\begin{gathered} =(7-2)/(2) \\ =(5)/(2) \end{gathered}
In\text{ mixed fraction, 5/2 = 2 }(1)/(2)\text{ (option B)}
