Answer 1

To find the quotient of \( \frac{3}{5} \) divided by \( \frac{1}{2} \), you can multiply \( \frac{3}{5} \) by the reciprocal of \( \frac{1}{2} \).

The reciprocal of \( \frac{1}{2} \) is \( \frac{2}{1} \).

Now, multiply:

\[
\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 1} = \frac{6}{5}
\]

Now, \( \frac{6}{5} \) can also be expressed as a mixed number:

\[
\frac{6}{5} = 1 \frac{1}{5}
\]

So, the answer is:

**1 1/5**
