Solution with Steps:
4/3÷1/2=?
• Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.
• Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
4/3×2/1=?
• For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
4/3×2/1
(4×2) (3×1)= 8/3
• This fraction cannot be reduced.
