What is 53/54 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{53}{54}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{53}{54} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{53}{54} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $53 \times 1 = 53$
• Multiply the Denominators: $54 \times 3 = 162$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{53}{54} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{53}{162}$
