Question

1 /2 ÷ 1 / 3 = 1 /3 ÷ 1 /2 true or false​

Answer 1

Answer:

Divide: 1/2 : 1/3 = 1/2 · 3/1 = 1 · 3/2 · 1 = 3/2 

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - one half divided by one third = three halfs.
