Question

By what number should 1(3⁄4) be divided to get 2(1/2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x.

So, 1(3⁄4) / x = 2(1/2)

So, x = 1(3⁄4) / 2(1/2) = 7/4 / 5/2 = 7/10

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

1(3/4) ÷ x = 2(1/2)

7/4 ÷ x = 5/2

7/(4x) = 5/2  

5(4x) = 7(2)

20x = 14

x = 14/20

x = 7/10
