To divide two fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1.
So, the product of 4/6 and 2/1 is (4/6) * (2/1) = (4*2) / (6*1) = 8/6.
We can simplify 8/6 by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2.
8/6 = (8/2) / (6/2) = 4/3.
Therefore, the quotient of 4/6 and 1/2 is 4/3, which can be written as 1 1/3.
The correct answer is A. 1 1/3.
