2 1/2

The number of groups of 1/2 pound in 2³/₄ pounds is;

5¹/₂ groups

We want to find the number of groups of 1/2 pound in 2³/₄ pounds.

First thing we do is to convert  2³/₄ to improper fraction which gives;

2³/₄ = 11/4

Now to find how many groups of 1/2 pound will be in 11/4, we just divide 11/4 by 1/2 to get;

11/4 ÷ 1/2

⇒ 11/4 × 2/1

⇒ 11/2

5¹/₂ groups

Thus, in conclusion, there are 5¹/₂ groups of ¹/₂  pound in 2³/₄ pounds.
