Question

Divide. Write each quotient in simplest form.
2/3 ÷ 2 = _____ Show step-by-step solution.

Answer 1

The answer is
`(1)/(3)`


`(2)/(3)` ÷ 2 =
`(2)/(3)` ÷
`(2)/(1)`

If
`(a)/(b)` ÷
`(c)/(d)` =
`(a*d)/(b*c)`, then:

`(2)/(3)` ÷
`(2)/(1)` =
`(2*1)/(3*2)`

Now, 2 can be canceled out from
`(2*1)/(3*2)` :

`(2*1)/(3*2)= (1)/(3)`
