Answer 1

The correct response is option B: 3/2.

Since we are dividing 2 wholes into thirds, we have a total of 6 equal parts (2 x 3 = 6). To divide by 1/3, we need to find how many times 1/3 goes into 6.

1/3 goes into 6 two times:

6 x 1/3 = 2

Therefore, 2 ÷ 1/3 = 2 x 3/1 = 6.

But since we started with 2 wholes, the final answer must also be in terms of wholes, so we divide by the total number of parts:

6 ÷ 3 = 2

So, 2 ÷ 1/3 = 6/3 = 2, which can be written as 3/2.
