Answer:

(3)/(2)

Explanation:

(3)/(4) ÷
(1)/(2)

Since we are dividing by a fraction, we switch
(1)/(2) to it's reciprocal.

Doing that would make it
(3)/(4) x
(2)/(1) . In other words, that is
(3)/(4) x
.

We can use cross multiplying to simplify/solve for it.

(Look at the image to see the cross multiplying).

Therefore, the answer is
(3)/(2) .
