Question

3/4 divided by 1/2

Step by step explanation

Answer 1

1.5

Explanation:

When we divide two fractions, such as 3/4 ÷ 1/2, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.

We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.

Answer 2

Answer: 3/2 or 1 and 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: Remember that dividing by a fraction

is the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction.

The reciprocal of a fraction is just that fraction flipped.

So 3/4 ÷ 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/4 × 2/1.

Before multiplying however, notice that we

can cross-cancel the 2 and 4 to get 1 and 2.

Finally, multiplying across the numerators and

across the denominators, we have 3/2 or 1 and 1/2.
