Question

(1+1/2) / (1-3/4) =
How do I solve this? Studying for a placement test, please help!

Answer 1

Your best bet is probably to convert both the numerator and the denom. into improper fractions. Know that process?

(1+1/2) becomes 3/2. What would (1-3/4) become?

Answer 2

Then, divide the 2nd fraction into the first. Remember the "invert the divisor and multiply" rule?

Answer 3

(3/2)/(1/4)
as 1+1/2=3/2
and 1-3/4=1/4
now 3*4/2*1=solve it =ans

Answer 4

6! Thank you guys so much :-) pretty darn easy lol
