Question

What is 1 fifth divided by 6

Answer 1

Explanation:

1/6 ÷ 6 can be written as 1/5 ÷ 6/1

For fraction divisions we can apply KFC

K - Keep the first fraction as it is

F- Flip the second fraction (in this case 6/1 becomes 1/6)

C- Change the division to multiplication

If we follow all of these steps we'll get the following:

1/5 ÷ 6/1

1/5 × 1/6 (the second fraction was flipped)

Then you simply do the number on top × the number on top (1 x 1) and the number on the bottom × the number on the bottom (5 x 6)

This would equal:

1/30

Answer 2

1/5 divided by 6

6 = 6/1

When dividing fractions, we follow a rule called "Keep, change, flip."

It then becomes: 1/5 * 1/6 = 1/30

1 fifth divided by 6 equals 1/30
