What is 53/99 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{53}{99}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{53}{99} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{53}{99} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $53 \times 1 = 53$
• Multiply the Denominators: $99 \times 2 = 198$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{53}{99} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{53}{198}$
