Question: what is half of 1 3/4 on a ruler?
Answer: The 1 in it is a whole number and the 3/4 is a fraction. So the half of it is actually the sum of half of these two parts, which is 1/2 + 3/8 = 7/8. The number 1 3/4 is greater than 1, so it is written in mixed fraction terms. If we write it in terms of Improper fraction, then it is equal to (4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4).
