Hey there!
To solve this, we can use division. First, lets turn [tex]1 \frac{1}{4}[/tex] into an improper fraction:
[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
So, we have
[tex]\frac{5}{4} / \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We can multiply by the reciprocal:
[tex]\frac{5}{4} *\frac{2}{1}[/tex]
That gives us
[tex]\frac{10}{4} =\frac{5}{2} =2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hope it helps and have a great day!
