Answer 2

Explanation:

The description is too ambiguous to reconstruct the diagram. You need to post the actual diagram.

That diagram is just one way to view division by a fraction. An easier way: DIVIDING by a fraction is the same as MULTIPLYING by the upside-down fraction. For example,

(1/2) ÷ (1/4) = (1/2) × (4/1) = 2

That doesn’t help you answer this particular question, though.
