What is 17/54 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{17}{54}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{54} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{17}{54} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $54 \times 2 = 108$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{54} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{17}{108}$
