What is 81/74 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{81}{74}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{81}{74} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{81}{74} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $81 \times 1 = 81$
• Multiply the Denominators: $74 \times 2 = 148$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{81}{74} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{81}{148}$
