That depends on what you mean by "and". I'm guessing that what you mean is "by", as in "How do you divide 1/3 by 1/2".
This can be easily done by remembering one simple rule:
Dividing by a fraction is identical to multiplying by the inverse of that fraction.
In this case then, dividing by 1/2 is identical to multiplying by 2/1. So we can say:
1/3 ÷ 1/2
= 1/3 × 2/1
= (1 × 2)/(3 × 1)
= 2/3
