Answer:

3/2 or 1 1/2

Explanation:

Hi,

3/4 divided by 1/2 is the same thing as 3/4 x 2/1. (when dividing fractions, flip the second fraction) When you do this, you simply multiply straight across. So...

3/4 x 2/1 = 6/4

Simplify...

3/2 (both 6 and 4 can be divided by 2)

3/2 = 1 1/2

I hope this helps :)
