Question

Which equation gives the number of half inches that are in 7878 inch?

Answer 1

The statement, number of half inches in 7/8 inches, in algebraic notation is:

$\frac{7}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}\text{.}$

Now, computing the above division we get:

$\frac{\frac{7}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{7}{4}\text{.}$

Therefore, the equation that gives the number of half inches that are in 7/8 inches is:

$\frac{7}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{4}\text{.}$

Answer:

$\frac{7}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{4}\text{.}$
