• A. $2\frac{3}{4}$
• B. $3\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $2\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $3\frac{2}{1}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3\frac{1}{2}$

We have to find a mixed fraction equal to $\frac{7}{2}$.
The improper fraction $\frac{7}{2}$ can be converted to a mixed fraction by dividing 7 by 2.

$2\left)7\right(3-6\_\_\_\_\_\_\_1$
So, the obtained mixed fraction would be $3\frac{1}{2}$.
