Answer for screen readers

The final answer is 3.5

Steps to Solve

  1. Setup the division

Start by setting up the division 7 divided by 2.

  1. Perform the Division

Divide 7 by 2. This means how many times 2 can go into 7.

$$ 7 \div 2 = 3.5 $$

2 goes into 7 three times fully (2 * 3 = 6), leaving a remainder of 1. So, 1 divided by 2 gives 0.5. Add them together to get the decimal.

  1. Combine integer part and decimal part

Combining the integer part (3) and the decimal part (0.5).

$$ 3 + 0.5 = 3.5 $$

The final answer is 3.5
