Questions: Simplify. 5/6 divided by 2

Solution Steps

To simplify the given expression, we need to divide the fraction \(\frac{5}{6}\) by 2. This can be done by multiplying \(\frac{5}{6}\) by the reciprocal of 2, which is \(\frac{1}{2}\). The result will be a new fraction.

We start with the expression to simplify: \[ \frac{\frac{5}{6}}{2} \]

To simplify the expression, we can rewrite the division by 2 as multiplication by its reciprocal: \[ \frac{5}{6} \div 2 = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} \]

Now, we multiply the fractions: \[ \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5 \times 1}{6 \times 2} = \frac{5}{12} \]
