Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

0.5 divided by 1.5 can also be written as 1/2 divided by 3/2.

So lets rewrite it like this:

(1/2)/(3/2)

From here there are two ways we can solve this. One is to multiply by the reciprocal:

(1/2) × (2/3)= 2/6

which simplifies to 1/3 as your final answer.

The other method is to "oreja"

you multiply the top most number and the bottom most number together and then the two middle ones like so:

(1/2)/(3/2) -> (1×2)/(2×3)

which is 2/6 once again and simplifies to 1/3 the final answer.
