To divide one and two thirds (1 2/3) by two thirds (2/3), we can use the division rule for fractions.
First, we convert the mixed number 1 2/3 into an improper fraction:
1 2/3 = (1 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 5/3
Now, we divide 5/3 by 2/3:
(5/3) ÷ (2/3)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(5/3) * (3/2)
Multiplying the numerators gives us 5 * 3 = 15, and multiplying the denominators gives us 3 * 2 = 6.
So, (5/3) ÷ (2/3) = 15/6
The fraction 15/6 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
Dividing 15 by 3 gives us 5, and dividing 6 by 3 gives us 2.
Therefore, (5/3) ÷ (2/3) = 5/2
