Answer:

We verified that the equation
7(1)/(2)/1(1)/(2)=5 has both sides equal.

Explanation:

We need to solve and verify:
7(1)/(2)/1(1)/(2)=5

Solving:


7(1)/(2)/1(1)/(2)=5

Converting into improper fractions


(15)/(2)/(3)/(2)=5

Converting division sign into multiplication and reversing 3/2 i.e


(15)/(2)*(2)/(3)=5

Now simplifying


(15)/(3)=5 \\5=5

So, We verified that the equation
7(1)/(2)/1(1)/(2)=5 has both sides equal.
