Question

Divide. Write your answer in the simplest form.
5/6 divide by 2

Answer 1

To divide \( \frac{5}{6} \) by \( 2 \), you can rewrite the division of a fraction by a whole number as follows:

\[
\frac{5}{6} \div 2 = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{2}
\]

Now, multiply the fractions:

\[
\frac{5 \times 1}{6 \times 2} = \frac{5}{12}
\]

Therefore, \( \frac{5}{6} \div 2 = \frac{5}{12} \).

The answer in simplest form is \( \frac{5}{12} \).
