What is 85/63 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{85}{63}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{85}{63} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{85}{63} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $85 \times 1 = 85$
• Multiply the Denominators: $63 \times 2 = 126$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{85}{63} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{85}{126}$
