Question

a piece of thread is 11/12 in Long Jenny needs to cut the thread into 1/6 segments how many segments can she cut

Answer 1

5 segments

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to divide fractions, we can use the following equation:

`((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a\cdot d)/(b\cdot c)`

Then, to know how many segments she can cut, we need to divide 11/12 by 1/6 as follows:

`((11)/(12))/((1)/(6))=(11\cdot6)/(12\cdot1)=(66)/(12)=5.5`

Therefore, taking the whole part of the number, Jenny can cut 5 segments of 1/6 long.
