| ① | Remove 1 from denominator. |
| ② | Divide $ \dfrac{16}{3} $ by $ 2 $ to get $ \dfrac{8}{3} $. Step 1: To divide rational expressions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Cancel down by $ \color{blue}{2} $ $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{ \frac{16}{3} }{2} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{16}{3} \cdot \frac{\color{blue}{1}}{\color{blue}{2}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{16 : \color{blue}{2}}{6 : \color{blue}{2}} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{8}{3} \end{aligned} $$ |
