Answer :

I think it’s b 7 1/2 will need to be divided by 2 to find x

Step-by-step explanation:

7 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ 2

A. 2 × ? = 7[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

   Divide 2 on both sides to bring all the constants on one side...

   ? = 7 1/2 ÷ 2

B. 7 1/2 x ? = 2

  Divide 7 1/2 on both sides to isolate the ?

  ? = 2 ÷ 7 1/2

C. 2 x 7 1/2

    You already know that the initial problem is asking for an answer that is half of 7 1/2 not twice 7 1/2

D. ? x 7 1/2 = 2

   Divide 7 1/2 on both sides

    ? = 2÷ 7 1/2

E. It's basically the same thing as A

Whatever is bolded is the answer

I hope this made sense and I hope this helps!!!
