To compute \( (1 + 16) ÷ \frac{1}{2} \), we start with the following steps:
-
First, calculate \( 1 + 16 \): \[ 1 + 16 = 17 \]
-
Then, we need to divide \( 17 \) by \( \frac{1}{2} \). Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so we can rewrite the expression: \[ 17 ÷ \frac{1}{2} = 17 \times 2 = 34 \]
Now, we have our final answer: \( 34 \).
Next, we will convert \( 34 \) into a mixed number. Since \( 34 \) is a whole number and does not have a fractional part, it can be expressed simply as: \[ 34 = 34 \frac{0}{1} \] or just \( 34 \) without the fractional part.
None of the provided responses correspond to this answer (34).
However, if you wanted to sum it with \( (2 + \frac{1}{3}) \):
-
Convert \( 2 \) to a fraction: \[ 2 = \frac{6}{3} \]
-
Add the two fractions: \[ \frac{6}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} \]
-
Convert \( \frac{7}{3} \) to a mixed number: \[ \frac{7}{3} = 2 \frac{1}{3} \]
Therefore, the computed result from the given operation is \( 34 \), and when adding the mixed number \( 2 \frac{1}{3} \), the total is \( 34 + 2 \frac{1}{3} \) which provides: \[ 34 + 2 \frac{1}{3} = 36 \frac{1}{3} \]
But if we focus just on the initial operation \( (1 + 16) ÷ \frac{1}{2} \), the answer is 34.
