What is 50/89 Divided By 1/2

Solving $\frac{50}{89}\div\frac{1}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{50}{89} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{50}{89} \times \frac{2}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $50 \times 2 = 100$
• Multiply the Denominators: $89 \times 1 = 89$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{50}{89} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{100}{89}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{100}{89}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $100$ and $89$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{50}{89}\div\frac{1}{2} = \frac{100}{89}$
