(1)/(6) ÷
(2)/(6)

First, apply this following rule:
a ÷
(b)/(x) = a ×
(c)/(b)

(1)/(6) ×
(6)/(2)
Second, apply this following rule:
(a)/(b) ×
(c)/(d) = (ac)/(bd)

(1x6)/(6x2)
Third, multiply 1 × 6 to get 6 and 6 × 2 to get 12.

(6)/(12)
Fourth, find the GCF of 6 and 12.
Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The GCF is 6.
Fifth, divide the numerator by the GCF.

6 ÷
6 = 1
Sixth, divide the denominator by the GCF.

12 ÷
6 = 2
Seventh, collect the new numerator and new denominator.

(1)/(2)

Answer as fraction:
(1)/(2)
Answer as decimal: 0.5
