What is 39/98 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{39}{98}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{39}{98} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{39}{98} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $39 \times 1 = 39$
• Multiply the Denominators: $98 \times 2 = 196$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{39}{98} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{39}{196}$
