I am very confused lol... So I'm doing a worksheet for Algebra 1 (highschool) and we're doing division and multiplication with f

ractions at the moment to review what we learned last year and I'm stuck. Right now I'm doing #1 and ended up getting 7 1\2... so I ended up doing this as my equation..
3 \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}I have no idea if I'm supposed to do division with this but I tried division and multiplication and got 7 1\2 Everytime I did it. And I know the answer is 1 7/8 cause I may have found a cheat sheet online but I still need to know how to do it. Anyways this is what I did:
3 \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}
\frac{15}{4} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{30}{4}
\frac{30}{4} = \frac{15}{2} = 7 \frac{1}{2}
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong lol.

OK first change 3 3/4 to an improper fraction and that will give you  15/4. so you got that part right.  Next, change the division sign to multiplication. then flip the 1/2 to 2/1.  Then multiply 15 times 2 and that will give you 30. Then multiply 4 times 1 and that will give you 4. then you will have an answer of  30/4. Finally, since you a have a big number over a small number you divide 30 by 4 and that will give you 7 1/2. So it turns out that your little cheat sheet is wrong because when you check your answer you should go on Math-way to check it. Also, a little background about me is that I am in 8th grade and I am taking algebra 1 too.

How to use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line?
Arada [10]
The slope of the line is the dy/dx value every time it appears in the differential equation. By substituting values for x and y in the DE, the slope can be found for the tangent at a point. This is the value of m in y=mx+a. To find a, plug in the tangent point.

What are the coordinates (x, y) at which the graphs of 3.6x − 2y = 6 and −2.7x + y = 3 intersect? Round to the nearest tenth if
Bas_tet [7]
3.6x - 2y = 6
-2.7x + y = 3.....multiply by 2
----------------
3.6x - 2y = 6
-5.4x + 2y = 6 (result of multiplying by 2)
----------------add
-1.8x = 12
x = 12/-1.8
x = - 6.67 (or -20/3)

3.6x - 2y = 6
3.6(-6.67) - 2y = 6
-24.01 - 2y = 6
-24.01 - 6 = 2y
-30.01 = 2y
-30.01 / 2 = y
-15 = y

solution : (-6.67, -15)

If cos(-ϴ)=0.95, find sin(π/2-ϴ)
Furkat [3]
\bf \textit{Cofunction Identities}
\\\\
sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)=cos(\theta)
\qquad 
cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)=sin(\theta)
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{symmetry identities}}{cos(-\theta )=cos(\theta )}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)=cos(\theta)=cos(-\theta )=0.95
