Answer:

11

Explanations:

The given expression is:


5(1)/(2)\text{ }/\text{ }(3)/(6)
\begin{gathered} \text{First convert 5}(1)/(2)\text{ to improper fraction} \\ 5(1)/(2)\text{ = }(11)/(2) \end{gathered}

The given expression can therefore also be written as:


(11)/(2)\text{ }/\text{ }(3)/(6)

Change the division sign (÷) to multiplication (x), and change 3/6 to 6/3


\begin{gathered} (11)/(2)*(6)/(3) \\ \text{Multiply the numerator together, and also the denominator together} \\ (66)/(6) \\ =\text{ 11} \end{gathered}
