    One days trip of to school from home and back home from school is 2/3 of a mile. We want to know how far it is to school from her house.

    To solve this, we simply need to take half of the total distance (2/3)

    /frac{2}{3} / 2

    Next, we need to turn the 2 into a fraction. Every whole number can be made into a fraction by putting it over 1.

    /frac{2}{3} / / frac{2}{1}

    Because we are dividing, we need to invert the second fraction and then multiply.

    /frac{2}{3} * / frac {1}{2}

    Next, we multiply the top of the first fraction by the top of the second and the bottom of the first fraction by the bottom of the second.

    /frac{2}{6}

    Once you reduce, you get:

    /frac{1}{3}
