Quotient A 2
Expression B \( \frac{2}{3} \div \frac{1}{3} \)
Quotient B 2
Expression C \( \frac{3}{5} \div \frac{1}{5} \)
Quotient C 3
Expression D \( \frac{4}{9} \div \frac{2}{9} \)
Quotient D 2
Expression E \( \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{1}{2} \)
Quotient E \( \frac{1}{2} \)
Expression F \( \frac{5}{6} \div \frac{1}{6} \)
