To divide fractions, you invert the second fraction and multiply.
1 1/6 ÷ 1/3 = (7/6) ÷ (1/3)
Inverting the second fraction: (7/6) * (3/1) = 21/6
Simplifying: 21/6 = 7/2
So, the simplified answer is 7/2.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the problem correctly.
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
1 1/6 ÷ 1/3 = (7/6) ÷ (1/3)
Reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1.
So, (7/6) ÷ (1/3) = (7/6) * (3/1)
Multiplying numerators and denominators, we get:
(7 * 3) / (6 * 1) = 21/6
Now let's simplify this fraction:
21/6 can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 3.
21 ÷ 3 / 6 ÷ 3 = 7/2
Therefore, the simplified answer is 7/2.
