Answer:
so it would be 1/2 /1/3 = 1 1/2
Explanation:
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
12×31=?
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
1×32×1=32
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
32
is the same as
3÷2
Convert to a mixed number using
long division for 3 ÷ 2 = 1R1, so
32=112
Therefore:
12÷13=112
