Answer 1

Answer:
`(22)/(3)`

Step-by-step explanation: Divide

`5(1)/(2)/ (3)/(4)`

Step 1: Convert the mixed number to improper fraction

`5 (1)/(2) =(11)/(2)`

`= (11)/(2)/ (3)/(4)`

Step 2: Reciprocal

`(11)/(2)* (4)/(3)`

Step 3: Divide the common factors

`4 / 2 = 2\\\\=(11)/(1)* (2)/(3)`

Step 4: Multiply

`(11* \:2)/(1* \:3)\\\\=(22)/(3)`
