There's a easyer way to do this just like this you keep 1/6 then you change the division into multiplication and then seance you put the five which a 1 on the bottom like this 5/1 you flip it and it's 1/5 this strategy is called keep change flip so you keep 1/6 change division into multiplication and you flip 5/1 into 1/5 so it will end up like this 1/6x1/5=1/30
