3

The numbers in 4/6 divided by 1/3 are labeled below:

4 = dividend numerator
6 = dividend denominator
1 = divisor numerator
3 = divisor denominator

To make it a fraction form answer, you multiply the dividend numerator by the divisor denominator to make a new numerator.

Furthermore, you multiply the dividend denominator by the divisor numerator to make a new denominator:

4 x 3
