• A. $3$
• B. $2$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3}÷\frac{1}{6}$

Take a reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply that reciprocal by the first fraction as follows.

$\frac{1}{3}÷\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{6}{1}$
$=\frac{1\times 6}{3\times 1}$
$=\frac{6}{3}$
Now, we need to simplify the resulting fraction

$=\frac{3\times 2}{3}$

Cancel out the common factors of numerator and denominator of the fraction

$=2$
