What is 27/34 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{27}{34}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{27}{34} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{27}{34} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $27 \times 1 = 27$
• Multiply the Denominators: $34 \times 2 = 68$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{27}{34} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{27}{68}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{27}{68}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $27$ and $68$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{27}{34}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{27}{68}$
