Question

-(3/4)+1 7/8 divided by 1/2 =n

Answer 1

first off, let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then proceed, let's notice that by PEMDAS or order of operations, the multiplication is done first, and then any sums.

`\stackrel{mixed}{1(7)/(8)}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+7}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{8} / \cfrac{1}{2}\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{8} \cdot \cfrac{2}{1}\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{4} \\\\\\ \cfrac{-3+15}{4}\implies \cfrac{12}{4}\implies 3`
