Answer:

3 : (1/2) = $\frac{6}{1} =6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide: 3 : $\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{1} *\frac{2}{1} =\frac{3 * 2}{1*1} =\frac{6}{1} =6$

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{2}{1}$ ) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.
