Question

Simplify 1/2/3 = ? i think its 1 1/2 im not sure please help!!

Answer 1

The way you posted the problem is ambiguous. Use parenthesis to be clear how you want the dividing order to work.

=====================================================

If you mean to say 1 over the fraction 2/3, then we would have

1/(2/3) = 1 ÷ 2/3 = 1 * 3/2 = 3/2

Then you can convert to a mixed number getting 1 & 1/2

So if we divide 1 over 2/3, then we end up with the mixed number 1 & 1/2

=====================================================

Or,

If we have 1/2 over 3, then,

(1/2)/3 = 1/2 ÷ 3 = 1/2 ÷ 3/1 = 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
