Answer:One way to set up problem 6 without having a variable in the denominator is by using reciprocal or multiplicative inverse.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Identify the expression that has a variable in the denominator. Let's say it is the fraction 1/x.

2. To eliminate the variable in the denominator, you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by the reciprocal of the variable. In this case, the reciprocal of x is 1/x. So, you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1/x.

(1/x) * (1/x) = 1/x^2

3. Simplify the expression after multiplying. The denominator is now x^2 instead of x.

So, the fraction 1/x can be written as 1/x^2.

By using the reciprocal or multiplicative inverse, you can eliminate the variable in the denominator and express the fraction in a different form that doesn't have a variable in the denominator.
