Answer 1

To simplify the division of 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2, we need to convert both fractions to have a common denominator.

1 1/6 = 7/6 (converting the mixed number to an improper fraction)

1/2 = 3/6 (converting the fraction to have a denominator of 6)

Now we can perform the division:

(7/6) ÷ (3/6) = 7/6 x 6/3 (multiplying the numerator and denominator of the divisor by the reciprocal of the dividend)

= 7/2 (simplifying the fraction)

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1

So the answer is 3 1/2.
