(1+i)/(1-2i)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More educated people add the courtesy words "Simplify please" . . .

   =        ( multiply the numerator and the denominator by the number (1+2i), which is conjugate to the number in the denominator.
                    The value of the fraction doesn't change and remains the same after this operation )


= 


Then the numerator is equal to  1 + 2i + i + i*(2i) =  = 1 + 3i - 2 = -1 + 3i   (since  = -1)

The denominator is eqial to   =  = 1 - 4*(-1) = 1 + 4 = 5   ( again, since  = -1 )

Hence, the entire fraction is

 =  = -0.2 + 0.6i.


Answer.   = -0.2 + 0.6i.
