2 is also the fraction 2/1, so the question is:

(1)/(3) / (2)/(1)
when dividing fractions, you take the second fraction flip the top number (numerator) with the lower number (denominator) and then change the division sign to multiplication:

(1)/(3) * (1)/(2)
=
(1)/(6) or one sixth

1/3 ÷ 2 =

1/3 x 2/1. you do this by doing the reciprocal of 2, and then you do KCF ( keep, change, flip,)

keep 1/3 change ÷ to × and flip 2/1 to 1/2.

1/3 x 1/2 = 1/6.

hopefully this helps you
