Question

Divide 1 1/3 ÷ 2A. 3/2 B. 4/3 C. 5/3 D. 2/3

Answer 1

D. 2/3

Step-by-step explanation

We want to solve:

`1(1)/(3)/2`

Convert 1 1/3 to improper fraction:

`\begin{gathered} (4)/(3)/\text{ 2} \\ (4)/(3)\text{ }/\text{ }(2)/(1) \end{gathered}`

Now, flip 2/1 to become 1/2:

`(4)/(3)\cdot\text{ }(1)/(2)`

Now, simplify:

`(4)/(3)\cdot\text{ }(1)/(2)\text{ = }(2)/(3)`

The answer is Option D.
