What is 2 1/4 divided by 2?

Step by step

1. Write each number as a fraction
   2 1/4 = (2 × 4 + 1)/4 = 9/4
   2 = 2/1
2. Keep, change, flip
   Keep the first fraction, change ÷ to ×, and flip the second fraction upside down:
   9/4 ÷ 2/1 = 9/4 × 1/2
3. Multiply the tops, then the bottoms
   (9 × 1)/(4 × 2) = 9/8
4. Write it as a mixed number
   9 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 1, so 9/8 = 1 1/8
