---------------------------- 

%28x%2F3%2B1%2F6%29%2F%281%2F2%2B1%2F3%29 = 


First write the fractions in the numerator x%2F3+%2B+1%2F6 with common denominator:

x%2F3+%2B+1%2F6 = 2x%2F6+%2B+1%2F6 = %282x%2B1%29%2F6.


Next write fractions in the denominator 1%2F2+%2B+1%2F3 with common denominator:

1%2F2+%2B+1%2F3 = 3%2F6+%2B+2%2F6 = 5%2F6.


Now your expression is 

%28%28%282x%2B1%29%2F6%29%29%2F%28%285%2F6%29%29 = %282x%2B1%29%2F5.
