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.
(3/4)/2 would be the same as (3/4)*2, and that would equal 6/4 and could be simplified to be 3/2. Three fourths divided by two equals three halves.
3/4 / 2 = 3/8 or three eighths.
