Fraction Division Fb4492
1. The problem is to perform the division for the first expression in exercise 607: $$\frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{9}$$.
2. Recall the rule for dividing fractions: dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. That is,
$$a : b = a \times \frac{1}{b}$$.
3. Apply this rule:
$$\frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{9}{1}$$.
4. Multiply the numerators and denominators:
$$= \frac{1 \times 9}{3 \times 1} = \frac{9}{3}$$.
5. Simplify the fraction:
$$\frac{9}{3} = 3$$.
6. Therefore, the result of the division is 3.
