Question

Find half of seven and three-fourth

Answer 1

`\displaystyle\\Answer:\ (31)/(8) =3(7)/(8) =3.875`

Explanation:

`\displaystyle\\7(3)/(4):2=\\\\(7*4+3)/(4):2=\\\\ (28+3)/(4):2=\\\\(31)/(4)*(1)/(2)=\\\\ (31*1)/(4*2) =\\\\(31)/(8) =\\\\3(7)/(8) =\\\\3.875`

Answer 2

The expression would look like so:

1/2(7 3/4) or 1/2 • 31/4

We’ll use the second expression because it’s easier:

1 • 31 = 31
2 • 4 = 8

Our new fraction is 31/8.

When simplified, we will find that:

31/8 = 3 7/8

Half of seven and three-fourths is 3 7/8, or 31/8.
