you keep the first number the way it is, and multiply by the reciprocal of the second number so:
6/1 * 3/2
6 3=18 1 2=2
So then you have 18/2 which is 9
Answer: 9
Explantion:
Divide: 6 : 2/

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 2/
3
** is 3/**
2
) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step, , cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 9/
1
.
In words - six divided by two thirds = nine.
Dividing 6 by 3 2 can be solved by multiplying 6 by the reciprocal of 3 2 , which is 2 3 . This results in 6 × 2 3 = 9 . Therefore, the final answer is 9.
