when a fraction is divided by the difference of 1/2 and 1/6, we get 2/3. what is the fraction?
Difference of 1/2 and 1/6 = 3/6 - 1/6
= 3-1/6
= 2/6 (simplified to 1/3)
Let the fraction be x
Given, x divided by 1/3 = 2/3
To find x, we have to transpose 1/3 to RHS which then gives,
x = 1/3*2/3
x = 1*2/3*3
x = 2/9
Thus, the fraction is 2/9.
