What is 3/4 Divided by 1/2?

Answer – $\frac{3}{4}$ divided by $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ .

Explanation:

Dividing any two fractions requires following this step-by-step process:

Retain the first fraction the way it is.
Replace the division symbol by the multiplication symbol.
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Multiply the numerators with one another.
Multiply the denominators with each other.

Now, let’s divide the two given fractions $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ using the above method.

$\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}$

$= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{1}$

$= \frac{6}{4}$

$= \frac{3}{2}$

Also, on dividing the numerator 3 by the denominator 2, we can also get the mixed fraction form of $\frac{3}{2}$ as $1 \frac{1}{2}$ . On solving further, we even get the decimal form of the fraction as 1.5.
