yes Quazars you explained very well!

So Anonymous we'd solve this like this:

1/3 ÷ 2  ( so now we'll reciprocate this)

=1/3 x 1/2  (out here we have reciprocated as well as changed the division sign to multiplication sign)

=1/6  ANSWER

I hope uve understood by now and if not then pls be free to ask!

I hope this helps!

(1/3) / (2/1) is the same as 1/3 * 1/2 which in turn would become 1/6.

Dividing by x is the same as multiplying by its repciprocal.

For example 8/2 is the same as 8 * 0.5

Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 0.5.

1/2 is the reciprocal of 2/1.( just flip the numbers upside down )

 

Hope I explained well!
