5/6 divided by 1/3 multiplied by 1/2
You cannot divide, you have to multiply the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction, it would turn into:
5/6 multiplied by 3/1 multiplied by 1/4
Next step, set up the problem:
%285%2F6%29%283%2F1%29%281%2F4%29
Now multiply across:
numerator:
5 x 3 = 15
15 x 1 = 15
denominator:
6 x 1 = 6
6 x 4 = 24
15%2F24
Simplify, 3 is the highest number able to be divided into both:
15/3 = 5
24/3 = 8
5%2F8
