Question

1 3/4 divided by 1/2-1 1/2 to the 3rd

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/4

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the problem is; (1 3/4) / (1/2 - 1 1/2)^(3)

(a). Convert to improper fractions;

(7/4) / (1/2 - 3/2)^3

(b). Simplify;

(7/4) / (-2/2)^3

(7/4) / (-1)^3

(7/4) / (-1)

-7/4

2. If the problem is; ((1 3/4) / (1/2)) - (1 1/2)^3

(a). Convert to improper fractions;

((7/4)/ (1/2)) - (3/2)^3

(b). Simplify;

((7/4)/ (1/2)) - (3/2)^3

((7/4)*(2/1)) - (27/8)

(7/2) - (27/8)

(28/8) - (27/8)

1/8
