First, you simplify the mixed number, in this case 4 1/2, to a mixed number, 9/2. Next, you take the number you are divided by, 3, or for us 3/1, and flip it so that is is 1/3. Then, multiply the mixed number times this fraction. Do simple fraction multiplication and you will get this equation. 4 1/2x1/3=3/2
