Question

Complete the statement below to explain how this model shows that 1/6 ÷ 1/4 = 2/3.

Answer 1

It takes 2/3 of a 1/4 bar to make 1/6

Answer 2

The answer is 2/3 and I will show the working to prove that in the explanation

Explanation:

`(1)/(6)` ÷
`(1)/(4)`

`(1)/(6)`×
`(4)/(1)`

Answer =
`(1)/(6)`×
`(4)/(1)` =
`(2)/(3)`

• So basically what is happening in the above steps what I have shown is that first I am changing the division sign into multiplication and then I am reciprocating the fraction of 1/4 into 4/1 because on the other side of it is multiplying and after doing that I am simplifying the fraction 4/6 by dividing it by 2 and hence I got a fraction of 2/3 as the answer
