Question

He model below can be used to find the quotient of one over two divided by one over six. What is the quotient?

Answer 1

1/2÷1/6

=

1/2*6/1

=

6/2

=

3

Answer 2

Quotient would be 3.

Explanation:

The model below can be used to find the quotient of one over two dividend by one over six.

We will rewrite the problem :

`(1)/(2)` ÷
`(1)/(6)`

As we know when we divide the two fractions, we must invert the second fraction and put the sign of multiplication in place of division sign and multiply.

So now we can write the problem as :

`(1)/(2)` ×
`(6)/(1)`

=
`(6)/(2)`

= 3

Quotient would be 3.
