Advanced Radio Amateur Examination

First do not be ashamed that you have looked at the answer to check if you got it right. Better to learn slowly but fully than get the answer wrong!

Q1. What is the result of 3/4 divided by 1/2

and in maths terms that is the same as

Dividing by 1/2 is the same as multiplying by 2/1

divide the 2 into the 4 and you get

that equals in decimal terms :- 1.5

Try it on your calculator and do it in stages

3 divided by 4 = write down the answer(1)

1 divided by 2 = write down the answer(2)

Now enter answer(1) and divide by answer(2) and see what you get !!

It should be 1.5 which is the same as above.

So fractions on a calculator can be reduced to decimals and you can still work out the answer.

However if this is not clear to you please speak to your tutor for some more additional maths help.
