SOLUTION: Is there any reason why my question is going ignored. I am trying to figure out how to solve this problem and have submitted it three times, still no answer 1/2 divided by 3/

It's because we are not sure of the way it's written in your
book or worksheet, and we don't want to guess and guess it
wrong.



If it's written this way in your book or worksheet, then the
operation that is given the highest priority here, since there
are no parentheses or exponents, is multiplication or division
going left to right:

We do the  first



Then we replace the  by .
So far we have:


Now the operation that is given the highest priority here is the
multiplication or division going left to right.  So,

We do the  first



Then we replace the  by .
So far we have:



and since the denominators are the same, we can just add the
numerators and get



which reduces to just

.

However, you may have meant this:



Then we'd do what's in the parentheses first.

Now the operation that is given the highest priority here is the
multiplication or division going left to right.  So,

Then within the parentheses, we'd do the  
first:



Then we replace the  by .
So far we have:



Then, still working inside the parentheses, we'd have to get
a LCD of 24, changing  to  and  to
 and we'd have this within the parentheses:
         
         

and we'd replace the  by     

So we'd have this:



And finally we'd invert the second fraction and change the
division to a multiplication:



Then finally



So since nobody could tell which of those you meant, nobody
answered.
