To compute 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2, you can multiply the dividend (1 1/6) by the reciprocal of the divisor (1/2):
1 1/6 × 2/1 = 7/6 × 2/1 = 14/6 = 7/3
To convert the answer to a mixed number, you divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (3) and express the remainder as a fraction:
7 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1
Therefore, the answer is 2 1/3.
