Question

If a sheep eats 1/6 of a bale a day how many sheep can be fed off of 1bale of hay?

Answer 1

6 because 6/6 is a whole and each sheep only eats 1/6.

Answer 2

To find out how many
`\frac { 1 }{ 6 }` there are in
`1` you should divide
`1` by
`\frac { 1 }{ 6 }` so :

`\frac { 1 }{ \frac { 1 }{ 6 } } =1\cdot 6=6`
6 sheep can be fed with 1 bale hay
