Explanation

The chapter explains that 7/2 can be written as 7 × (1/2) = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2. Since 2 halves make 1 whole, we have 3 whole units (6 halves) with 1 half remaining. So 7/2 = 3 + 1/2 = 3 1/2.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: 7/2 means 7 halves

  2. Step 2: 2 halves = 1 whole

  3. Step 3: 7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1

  4. Step 4: So 7/2 = 3 whole units with 1/2 remaining
