Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. 1 3/4 - p > 1/2
step 2. 7/4 - p > 2/4. get common denominators
step 3. -p > -5/4. subtract 7/4 from both sides
step 4. p < 5/4 divide by -1. remember to switch the arrow when you divide by a negative number
step 5. so the answer is anything less than 5/4 which means 9/8, 7/8, 1/4.
