Question

2 1/4 ÷(3/8 ÷1/2)
i know this might be easy but the my hw website keeps saying wrong

Answer 1

Answer:3

2 1/4 divided by ((3/8)/(1/2))
First, solve what is in the parentheses

3/8 divided by 1/2 becomes ——> 3/8*2/1

3/8*2/1 can simply to 6/8 or 3/4

Then we take 2 1/4 and make it 9/4 by multiplying 2*4=8 and adding 1 to get 9/4
This way we can divide 9/4 by 3/4
So 9/4 divided by 3/4 becomes ——> 9/4*4/3

9/4*4/3 becomes 36/12 which simplifies to 3

So this means that the answer is 3

Answer 2

The answer is 28

Explanation:

2 1/4 ÷ (3/8 ÷ 1/2)

= 9/4 ÷ (3/8 × 2/1)

= 9/4 ÷ (6/8)

= 9/4 ÷ (3/4)

=9/4 × 4/3

= 3
