Because division by a number (the second fraction) is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal.

how do you get one second to become one half second to become a fraction of 1/120
10-12 of a second.or one trillionth, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds
It depends of "as a fraction" of what? A day, a year, a century, a second - each of these will give a different answer.
Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. That is, flip the second fraction over and then multiply the two.
It could be as little as just over zero (from a fraction of a second before noon to a fraction of a second after) to as much as 12 hours (from a fraction of a second after midnight to a fraction of a second after noon).
"Dividing Fractions is easy as pie, flip the second and multiply." Flip the second fraction, and multiply, and reduce.

1 picosecond is one trillionth of a second, which can be represented as 1/1,000,000,000,000.
A second is divided into milliseconds and there are 1000 milliseconds in a second.
there are 24 hours in a day so fraction is 10/24= 5/12
Because division by a number (the second fraction) is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal.
A day is one seventh of a week.
To divide a fraction by a fraction, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one.
When dividing by a fraction, the second fraction (the divisor) is changed into its reciprocal by swapping the numerator and denominator over (turning it upside down) and then it is multiplied by the first number (fraction).
It is 180 minutes or, if you must, 180/1 minutes. If you want it as a fraction of some other quantity then you need to specify that second quantity. It should be blindingly obvious to anybody that 180 minutes, as a fraction of 1 day, will be quite different to 180 minutes as a fraction of a century!
