What is 85/11 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{85}{11}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{85}{11} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{85}{11} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $85 \times 1 = 85$
• Multiply the Denominators: $11 \times 2 = 22$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{85}{11} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{85}{22}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{85}{22}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $85$ and $22$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{85}{11}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{85}{22}$
