What is 60/53 Divided By 1/2

Solving $\frac{60}{53}\div\frac{1}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{60}{53} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{60}{53} \times \frac{2}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $60 \times 2 = 120$
• Multiply the Denominators: $53 \times 1 = 53$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{60}{53} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{120}{53}$
