1/2 divided by 5 = 1/2 time 1/5 which would equal 1/10. then for the other side to equal 1/10 as well, you would put a 5 in the blank spot. then 1/5 time 1/2 is 10 !! hope i helped:)

Let's start by looking at 6 (a).

Suppose you have half a pizza (consisting of 5 slices). Any one of those slices would represent the fraction you are looking for. You know that 1 is on top, so 5 (number of slices) must be on the bottom (5 in the square).

In the same way, (B) would be 1/6 (6 in the square).

Let me know if this makes sense or needs additional explaining!
