What is 61/57 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{61}{57}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{61}{57} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{61}{57} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Multiply the Denominators: $57 \times 2 = 114$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{61}{57} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{61}{114}$
