Answer
$\frac{4}{3}$
Work Step by Step
Do the subtraction in the numerator first.
Find the least common denominator (LCD) of the two terms of the numerator:
$\dfrac{\frac{3}{3} - \frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}}$
Perform the subtraction in the numerator:
$\dfrac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}}$
Rewrite this fraction as a division problem:
$\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{1}{2}$
To divide one fraction by another, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{2}{1}$
Multiply the numerators together, and multiply the denominators together:
$\frac{2(2)}{3(1)}$
Simplify:
$\frac{4}{3}$
