Compute: 1 1/6 ÷1/2 . Convert the answer to a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)

Answer 1

To divide fractions, you need to multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.

The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1.

So, 1 1/6 ÷ 1/2 is equal to (7/6) * (2/1) = 14/6.

To convert this to a mixed number in simplest form, we divide the numerator (14) by the denominator (6).

14 ÷ 6 = 2 with a remainder of 2.

Therefore, the answer as a mixed number in simplest form is 2 2/6, which can be simplified to 2 1/3.
