Question

Help...? heres the question:

kayla says that dividing by 5/6 is the same as dividing by 5, then multiplying by 6. is she correct? why?

Answer 1

Having 5/6 means that, since the 6 is in the denominator (the bottom number or the number to the right of the /), you divide by 6. Next, since 5 is on the top or to the left of the /, you multiply 5. As that does not match up with Kayla's answer, she is incorrect.
