Answer 1

Answer:

The original fraction was less than 1/2. Since the result was a mixed number, the original fraction must have contained less than 1 unit of 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction will be less than 1/2. An example will be 1/2 divided by 1/3. You'll need to do 1/2 x 3/1, which will result in 3/2, or 1 1/2.
