Answer:

1 1/3

Explanation:

The first thing that we need to know is how to divide fractions. In this case, we would use KCF(Keep Change Flip) Meaning that we KEEP 1/2 as is. CHANGE the division sign to a multiplication sign. FLIP 1/3 to 3/1.

The next step would be to solve. To do that we would look at our expression. 1 3 3

_ * _ = _

2 1 2

3/2 is an improper fraction. We need to convert it to a mixed number. To do that we would divide 2 by three. We get 1 remainder 1. So to put that in fraction form we would keep the whole number (1) and put the other 1 over three.

Thus your answer being: 1 1/3
