Answer: Three-fourths divided by one-half is one and a half.

Explanation:

Here we need to find, Three-fourths divided by one-half.

i.e. To find :
$\frac 34 / \frac 12$

Since ,
(a)/(b)/(c)/(d)= (a)/(b)*(d)/(c)

So,
$\frac 34 / \frac 12=\frac{3}4*\frac{2}1$

$=(3)/(2)*\frac11$ [Cancel 4 by 2 and it remains as 2.]

=(3)/(2)=1(1)/(2)

Hence, Three-fourths divided by one-half is one and a half.
