answer: 3/4

step by step: The numbers in 1/6 divided by 2/9 are labeled below:

1 = dividend numerator
6 = dividend denominator
2 = divisor numerator
9 = divisor denominator

To make it a fraction form answer, you multiply the dividend numerator by the divisor denominator to make a new numerator.

Furthermore, you multiply the dividend denominator by the divisor numerator to make a new denominator:

1 x 9
6 x 2
=
9
12

Thus, the answer to 1/6 divided by 2/9 in fraction form is:

9
12



To make the answer to 1/6 divided by 2/9 in decimal form, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator from the fraction answer above:

9/12 = 0.75

The answer is rounded to the nearest four decimal points if necessary.

9/12 can be simplified to 3/4.
