Answer: 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{7*2+1}{2} \\\frac{14+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}\\ \frac{15*2}{2*2}=\frac{30}{4} \\ \frac{30}{4}=30*\frac{1}{4} .[/tex]
There are total 30 quarters in [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
A quarter is one out of four equal parts. One quarter is the same as the fraction ¼.
A fraction represented with its quotient and remainder is a mixed fraction.
To change a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add this product with the numerator.
According to the given question.
We have a mixed fraction [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
So, the improper fraction of the given mixed fraction is given by
[tex]7 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{2}[/tex]
To find the number of quarters in the given mixed fraction, we will divide [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{7\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\frac{15}{2} }{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{15\times 4}{2}[/tex]
[tex]= 15\times 2[/tex]
[tex]= 30[/tex]
Hence, there are total 30 quarters in [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
