To solve the division problem 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2, we can convert both fractions to improper fractions.
1 1/6 = (6 + 1)/6 = 7/6
1/2 = 1/2
Now, we can rewrite the division problem as multiplying by the reciprocal: 7/6 * 2/1 = (7*2)/(6*1) = 14/6
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2.
14/6 = (14/2)/(6/2) = 7/3
Therefore, the answer in simplest form is 7/3. Converted into a mixed number, it is 2 1/3. Answer: 2132.
