What is 2 3/4 divided by 1/2?

Step by step

1. Write each number as a fraction
   2 3/4 = (2 × 4 + 3)/4 = 11/4
2. Keep, change, flip
   Keep the first fraction, change ÷ to ×, and flip the second fraction upside down:
   11/4 ÷ 1/2 = 11/4 × 2/1
3. Multiply the tops, then the bottoms

5. Write it as a mixed number
   11 ÷ 2 = 5 remainder 1, so 11/2 = 5 1/2
