Correct answer is C
\(7\frac{1}{2}-\left(2\frac{1}{2}+3\right)\div16\frac{1}{2}\); \(\frac{15}{2} - \left(\frac{5}{2}+\frac{3}{1}\right)\div \frac{33}{2}\)
\(\frac{15}{2} - \left(\frac{5+6}{2}\right)\div \frac{33}{2}\); \(\frac{15}{2} - \frac{11}{2} \div \frac{33}{2}\)
\(\frac{11}{2}\) ÷ \(\frac{33}{2}\) = \(\frac{11}{2}\) * \(\frac{2}{33}\)
= \(\frac{11}{33}\) or \(\frac{1}{3}\) (when simplified)
\(\frac{15}{2}\) - \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{43}{6}\)
7.166
The nearest whole number is 7
