Answer:
3 1/3 or 10 / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
7 1/2 divided by 2 1/4 =
Multiply 7 by 2.
7 x 2 = 14
Add 1 to 14 because of the 1 in 1/2.
14 + 1 = 15
7 1/2 turns into 15 / 2.
Do the same for 2 1/4.
Multiply 2 by 4.
2 x 4 = 8
Add 1 to 8 because of the 1 in 1/4.
8 + 1 = 9
2 1/4 turns into 9 / 4.
15 / 2 divided by 9 / 4
KEEP CHANGE FLIP!!
15 / 2 x 4 / 9
15 x 4 = 60 & 2 x 9 = 18
15 / 2 x 4 / 9 = 60 / 18
Let's simplify 60 / 18 by dividing by the greatest common factor; 6.
60 / 6 = 10 & 18 / 6 = 3
10 / 3 = 3 1/3
Hope this helped!
