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.
