What is 17/11 Divided By 1/2

Solving $\frac{17}{11}\div\frac{1}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{11} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{17}{11} \times \frac{2}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 2 = 34$
• Multiply the Denominators: $11 \times 1 = 11$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{11} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{34}{11}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{34}{11}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $34$ and $11$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{11}\div\frac{1}{2} = \frac{34}{11}$
