Dividing by a fraction means the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.

In other words, change the division sign to multiplication

and flip or take the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So we can rewrite 2/13 ÷ 1/6 as 2/13 × 6/1.

Now multiply across the numerators and denominators to get 12/13.
