(2 1/2) / (3/4)

Remember the rule for division of fractions; Invert(turn over) the right hand fraction, and multiply together.

Hence

(5/2) / ( 3/4)

5/2 X 4/3

Cancel down by '2'

5/1 X 2/3

Separately multiply the numerators and athen the denominators.

10/3

Convert to a mixed number. '3 1/3' The answer.

To divide 2 and one-half by three fourths, we first need to convert 2 and one-half to an improper fraction, which is 5/2. Then, we can divide 5/2 by 3/4 by multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor, which is 4/3. This gives us (5/2) * (4/3) = 20/6 = 10/3. Therefore, 2 and one-half divided by three fourths is equal to 10/3.
