To divide fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1.
So, 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2 can be simplified to (7/6) × (2/1).
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:
(7 × 2) / (6 × 1) = 14/6.
The fraction 14/6 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2.
14/6 = (7 × 2)/(6 × 2) = 7/3.
Therefore, 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2 = 7/3.
