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.
