hello, does anyone know when you divide a fraction with a whole number when you make the one over like for example 2/3 ÷ 2 do i make it 2/1 or 1/2

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing a fraction by any number, you first convert that number to a whole number.

Let's take your example of 2/3 ÷ 2

You would first convert all values to a fraction:

2/3 ÷ 2/1

Than you take the number you are dividing by (divisor) and find the reciprocal

(flip the numerator and denominator)

You then have to turn it into a multiplication problem:

2/3 × 1/2

Multiply:

2 x 1/3 x 2 = 2/6 = 1/3

The trick I learned was to keep change flip, or multiply by the reciprocal when you have a division problem w/ fractions

Step-by-step explanation:

for example: 2/3 divided by 2/1 is the same as 2/3 times(change the sign from div. to mult.) 1/2(the reciprocal or the opposite, just flip the numerator and denominator), so 2/3 x 1/2

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.

answer: all of the odd numbers were opened

the first person was the one that was opening all of the lockers. since one is odd, this causes all of the odd number lockers to be opened in the end.
