Sorry

This answer is incorrect.

The division of fractions is done by taking the reciprocal of the divisor and multipling. In this problem you have the additional problem of working with a mixed fraction. Your must first convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.

1 1/2 converted to an improper fraction is 3/2

then 3/2 divided by 1/2.

3/2 x 2/1

6/2

then this fraction needs to be reduced

6/2 = 3

Now let us try another one.

What is 2 3/4 divided by 1/4?
