Solve 1/6:2/3:1/2

$$\frac { 1 } { 6 } : \frac { 2 } { 3 } : \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Solution Steps

Divide \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{2}{3}} by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{2}{3}} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$\frac{\frac{1}{6}\times 2}{\frac{2}{3}}$$

Multiply \frac{1}{6} and 2 to get \frac{2}{6}.

$$\frac{\frac{2}{6}}{\frac{2}{3}}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}$$

Divide \frac{1}{3} by \frac{2}{3} by multiplying \frac{1}{3} by the reciprocal of \frac{2}{3}.

$$\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{2}$$

Multiply \frac{1}{3} times \frac{3}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{1\times 3}{3\times 2}$$

Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
