What is 61/18 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{61}{18}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{61}{18} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{61}{18} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Multiply the Denominators: $18 \times 2 = 36$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{61}{18} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{61}{36}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{61}{36}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $61$ and $36$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{61}{18}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{61}{36}$
