To compute 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2,
First, convert the mixed number 1 1/6 to an improper fraction.
1 1/6 = (6/6) + (1/6) = (6 + 1)/6 = 7/6.
Then, invert the divisor and multiply.
7/6 ÷ 1/2 = 7/6 * 2/1 = 14/6 = 7/3.
Finally, convert the improper fraction to a mixed number in simplest form.
7/3 = 2 1/3.
Therefore, the answer is 2 1/3.
