Answer 1

To compute 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2, we can convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:

1 1/6 = 6/6 + 1/6 = 7/6

Now, we can rewrite the expression as a division problem:

7/6 ÷ 1/2

To divide fractions, we can multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:

7/6 * 2/1 = 14/6 = 7/3

To convert 7/3 into a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

7 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1

So, the simplified mixed number form of 7/3 is 2 1/3.

Therefore, the answer to 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2 in simplest form is 2 1/3.
