First, you would change 1 1/2 to an improper fraction, 3/2. That gets 3/4 divided by 3/2. Then, while keeping the 3/4, you would change the operation (division) to multiplication, and while doing that, find the reciprocal of 3/2, which is 2/3. Finally, you would solve the new equation 3/4*2/3, and you can do so my multiplying the numerators together to find the answer's numerator and the denominators together to find the answer's denominator. Since 3 time 2 is 6, and 2 times 3 is also 6, the answer is 6/6, translated as 1.
