Answer: 17 1/6 or  17-18

(u guess which is right if its an integer ^^)

Step-by-step explanation:

25 3/4 ÷ 1 1/2

First change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

<u>25 3/4 </u>= <u>103/4</u>

<u>1 1/2 </u>= <u>3/2</u>

Now divide: 103/4 ÷ 3/2

103/4 * 2/3 (multiply by flipping the second fraction)

= 206/12

Now divide: 206 ÷ 12

= 17 2/12 (<u>simplified:</u> 17 1/6)

<u><em>The answer will be 17 1/6 </em></u> (OR 17-18)
