5/6 ÷ 1/3
1. Change the sign from ÷ to x
5/6 × 1/3

2. Invert 1/3 to be 3/1

5/6 x 3/1

3. Multiply numerators and denominators

(5 x 3)/(6 x 1)

15/6
4. Reduce the fraction. This is done by dividing the numerator and denominator by the biggest factor. What is the biggest number that EVENLY DIVIDES into 15 and 6?
How about 3?
15 ÷ 3 = 5
6 ÷ 3 = 2

Answer: 5/2
