### Problem 1: $ 3\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{2} $
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Convert mixed number to improper fraction
$ 3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3\times2 + 1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} $
## Step 2: Divide by multiplying by reciprocal
$ \frac{7}{2} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{2}{1} = 7 $
# Answer: $ 7 $

### Problem 2: $ \frac{3}{4} \div 1\frac{2}{6} $
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Simplify and convert mixed number
$ 1\frac{2}{6} = 1\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} $
## Step 2: Divide by multiplying by reciprocal
$ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{16} $ (Wait, correction: $ 1\frac{2}{6}=\frac{8}{6}=\frac{4}{3} $, so $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3}=\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{3}{4} $? No, reciprocal of $ \frac{4}{3} $ is $ \frac{3}{4} $? Wait no: $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $ is wrong. Wait $ 1\frac{2}{6} = \frac{6 + 2}{6} = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3} $. So $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $? No, reciprocal of $ \frac{4}{3} $ is $ \frac{3}{4} $? Wait no, division of fractions: $ a \div b = a \times \frac{1}{b} $. So $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $? No, $ \frac{4}{3} $ reciprocal is $ \frac{3}{4} $? Wait no, reciprocal of $ \frac{4}{3} $ is $ \frac{3}{4} $? Wait $ \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = 1 $, yes. So $ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{16} $? Wait no, $ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $ is $ \frac{9}{16} $, but let's check again. Wait $ 1\frac{2}{6} = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3} $. So $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $? No, that's incorrect. Wait $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 4} = \frac{9}{16} $? Wait no, $ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $ is $ \frac{9}{16} $, but let's do it step by step. Wait $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $? No, reciprocal of $ \frac{4}{3} $ is $ \frac{3}{4} $, so $ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $ is correct? Wait no, $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $ is wrong. Wait $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 4} $? No, $ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{16} $, but let's compute $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} $: $ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{16} $. Wait, maybe.
Wait, no, correction: $ 1\frac{2}{6} = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3} $. So $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $? No, reciprocal of $ \frac{4}{3} $ is $ \frac{3}{4} $, so $ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{16} $. Yes.
# Answer: $ \frac{9}{16} $ (Wait, no, wait $ 1\frac{2}{6} = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3} $, so $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} $? No, $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 4} $? Wait, $ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{16} $, but let's check with decimals: $ \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 $, $ 1\frac{2}{6} = 1.333... $, $ 0.75 \div 1.333... = 0.5625 = \frac{9}{16} $. Yes.
# Answer: $ \frac{9}{16} $

# Explanation:
## Step 1: Convert mixed number to improper fraction
$ 7\frac{2}{5} = \frac{37}{5} $
## Step 2: Divide by multiplying by reciprocal
$ \frac{37}{5} \div \frac{9}{10} = \frac{37}{5} \times \frac{10}{9} = \frac{370}{45} = \frac{74}{9} = 8\frac{2}{9} $ (Wait, $ 7\frac{2}{5} = \frac{37}{5} $, $ \frac{37}{5} \times \frac{10}{9} = \frac{37 \times 2}{9} = \frac{74}{9} \approx 8.222... $)
