7 1/4 = 4/29
That means half of that would be 8/29 or 3 and 8/5
Well, first we need to turn this mixed number into an improper fraction.
This is done by multiplying the denominator by the whole number
(4×7)
and add the numerator
(4×7+1)
and we put that above the denominator
(4 × 7 + 1) / 4
(28 + 1) / 4
04/29
Now, when you divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal. Normally when we divide by two we now multiply by 1/2
SO
(4/29) x (1/2)
the numerator remains the same (29)
the denominator increases to 8. (4 x 2)
which gives us with the fraction
29

8
or on 08/29. It can’t be simplified any more, so you’re all set and you have your answer!
Half of 7 1/4 means 1/2 times 7 1/4.
Change the mixed number to an improper fraction and multiply.
7 1/4 = 4/28 + 1/4 = 4/29
So 1/2 times 29/4 = 29/8 or 3 5/8
First: 7 1/4 = 4/29
So half would be 8/29 or 3 and 5/8.
3 5/8
Answer 6
whatever 3 1/2 + 1/8
