To find the quotient of 2 1/6 ÷ 1 1/3, first convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions.
2 1/6 = 13/6
1 1/3 = 4/3
Next, invert the second fraction and multiply:
(13/6) / (4/3) = (13/6) * (3/4)
Multiply the numerators: 13 * 3 = 39
Multiply the denominators: 6 * 4 = 24
The simplified answer is 39/24, which can be further simplified.
The greatest common divisor of 39 and 24 is 3.
Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3:
39/3 ÷ 24/3 = 13/8
Therefore, the quotient of 2 1/6 ÷ 1 1/3 is 13/8, which can also be written as the mixed number 1 5/8.
The correct answer is 1 5/8.
