\bf \cfrac{~~7\frac{1}{2}~~}{\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{7\cdot 2+1}{2}~~}{\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{15}{2}~~}{\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{5}{~~\begin{matrix} 15 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\cdot \cfrac{\stackrel{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{~~\begin{matrix} 3 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\implies 10

if we divide 7½ by 3/4, we get 10, namely, 3/4 + 3/4 +3/4 +3/4 +3/4 +3/4 +3/4 +3/4 +3/4 +3/4 = 7½.

or put differently, 3/4 goes into 7½ 10 times.

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 7\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{4}

1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

x = \dfrac{15}{2} \div \dfrac{3}{4}

2. Invert the proper fraction and change division to multiplication

x = \dfrac{15}{2} \times \dfrac{4}{3}

3. Multiply numerators and denominators

x = \dfrac{60}{6}

4. Divide the numerator and the denominator

x = 10

The quotient is what you get after you invert the denominator in Step 2 and then multiply the two fractions in Step 3.

Tomtit [17]
Point, line, and plane are the undefined expression that relinquish the starting location for geometry. When we define words, we ordinarily use simpler words, and these simpler words are in turn defined using yet simpler words. This procedure must eventually abort; at some stage, the definition must use a word whose meaning is accepted as intuitively clear. Because that meaning is accepted without definition, we refer to these words as undefined terms. These terms will be used in defining other terms. Although these expressions are not formally defined, a brief intuitive dialogue is needed.   A point is the most fundamental object in geometry. It is represented by a dot and named by a capital letter. A point constitute position only.   A line (straight line) can be thought of as a connected set of infinitely many points. It extends infinitely far in two opposite directions. A line has boundless length, zero width, and zero height. Any two points on the line name it. The symbol ↔ written on top of two letters is used to denote that line.   <span>A plane may be contemplating as an infinite set of points creating a connected flat surface extending infinitely far in all directions. It is usually represented in drawings by a four‐sided figure. A single capital letter is used to designate a plane.</span>

. How many 4ʹ × 8ʹ sheets of plywood are required to cover a floor that is 9 m by 16 m?
Black_prince [1.1K]
[m(100cm/m)(in/2.54cm)(ft/12)]^2=(25/7.62)^2 ft^2

(9*16)m^2(25ft^2/7.62m^2)(sheets/(4*8)ft^2)≈48.44 sheets

In reality you must buy complete sheets, or integer values, so you would need 49 sheets to cover the floor :P
