Mark (✓) against the correct answer
By what number should $1\frac{1}{2}$ be divided to get $\frac{2}{3}$ ?

(a) $2\frac{2}{3}$
(b) $1\frac{2}{3}$
(c) $\frac{4}{9}$
(d) $2\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

(d) $2\frac{1}{4}$

Required number = $1\frac{1}{2}÷\frac{2}{3}$

= $\frac{3}{2}÷\frac{2}{3}$

= $\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{3}{2}$ [∵ Reciprocal of $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$]

= $\frac{9}{4}=2\frac{1}{4}$
