Question

Can’t figure this fraction equation. 5/6 is the fraction getting divided by 2. Answer must be in the simplest form

Answer 1

5/6 divided by 2, i.e.

`(5)/(6)/2`

Applying the fraction rule

`\begin{gathered} (a)/(b)/ (c)/(d)=(a)/(b)* (d)/(c) \\ =(5*\:1)/(6*\:2) \\ =(5)/(6*\:2) \\ =(5)/(12) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is 5/12
