Question

Calculate 1 1/2 divided by 3/4

Answer 1

Answer: 2

Explanation:

32÷34=?

32÷34=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

32×43=?

32×43=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

3×42×3=126

3×42×3=126

Since 12 divided by 6 equals 2 then,

126=2

126=2

Therefore:

32÷34=2

Answer 2

`(22)/(3)`

Explanation:

`(11)/(2) / (3)/(4) = (11)/(2) * (4)/(3) = (44)/(6)`

Both 44 and 6 can be divided by 2:

`(22)/(3)`
