To find the division of fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, to solve 1/2 divided by 1/2, you can rewrite it as 1/2 multiplied by the reciprocal of 1/2. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1 (or simply 2).
Now, you can multiply 1/2 by 2/1:
(1/2) * (2/1) = (1 * 2) / (2 * 1) = 2/2 = 1
Therefore, 1/2 divided by 1/2 is equal to 1.
