------------
In general (a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b)*(d/c) = (ad)/(bc)
----------------
Your Problem:
(45/88)/(6/1) = (45/88)*(1/6) = (45*1)/(88*6) = (15/1)/(44/1) = 15/88 = 0.17...
or the quick way:
(45/88)/(6/1) = (45*1)/(88*6) = 0.17...

You can put this solution on YOUR website! (44/88) divided by 6
(44/88)/ (6/1) since 6/1=6
(44/88) * (1/6)
(44*1)/(88*6)
44/528
1/12
note that you could have gotten to final answer by doing the following also
(44/88)/ (6/1)
(44/88) * (1/6)
(1/2) * (1/6) I reduced the fraction 44/88
(1*1)/(2*6)
1/12
