Question

Brent divided three and one half by seven. What number did he get?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is 1/2

I changed 3 1/2 to an improper fraction (7/2), then I had to find the reciprocal of 7, which is 1/7.  I then multiplied 7/2 by 1/7 which gave me 7/14, which I reduced to 1/2.

Hope this answers your question.
