(1/7)/(1/2)
*Rule - you can't divide fractions...you have to multiply the 1st fraction with the reciprocal (flip the 2nd fraction) of the 2nd fraction.
(1/7)(2/1) ==> (1*2)/7*1) = 2/7

Division of fractions is really the multiplication of reciprocals.

Change X
Invert 2/1
1/7 X 2/1 = 2/7

To divide by a fraction, multiply by the reciprical (flip the fraction)
1/7 divided by 1/2 is the same as:
1/7 times 2/1
multiply the numerators (top numbers): 1x2=2
multipliy the denomonators (bottom numbers) 7x1=7
You end up with 2/7
