What is 13/20 ÷ 1/3 ?

1 answer

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

So, to find \( \frac{13}{20} \div \frac{1}{3} \), you can rewrite it as:

\[ \frac{13}{20} \times \frac{3}{1} \]

Now multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[ \frac{13 \times 3}{20 \times 1} = \frac{39}{20} \]

Thus, \( \frac{13}{20} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{39}{20} \).

If needed, you can also express \( \frac{39}{20} \) as a mixed number:

\[ \frac{39}{20} = 1 \frac{19}{20} \]

So, the final answer is \( \frac{39}{20} \) or \( 1 \frac{19}{20} \).
