What is 13/20 ÷ 1/3

Answer 1

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

So, to divide $\frac{13}{20}$ by $\frac{1}{3}$, you multiply $\frac{13}{20}$ by the reciprocal of $\frac{1}{3}$, which is $3$:

$$\frac{13}{20}÷\frac{1}{3}=\frac{13}{20}\times \frac{3}{1}$$

Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

$$\frac{13\times 3}{20\times 1}=\frac{39}{20}$$

So, $\frac{13}{20}÷\frac{1}{3}=\frac{39}{20}$.

This can also be expressed as a mixed number:

$$\frac{39}{20}=1\frac{19}{20}$$

Thus, the answer is $\frac{39}{20}$ or $1\frac{19}{20}$.
