Divide 30 by 6.

30/6= 5

1/6 of the pencils is equal to 5/30.

Or, 5 of the pencils.

I hope this helps!

30 pencils multiplied by 1/6 is equal to 30/6. Reduce 30/6 to lowest term by dividing 30 by 6. The quotient of 30 and 6 is 5. Therefore, Jake used 1/6 or 5 pencils of the 30 pencils in a pack.
