Answer 1

There are 12 equal-sized groups of
`(1)/(6)` in 2.

Solving word problems involving fractions.

In this question, we are to solve how many are in 2 from the division of:

`2 / (1)/(6)`

To do this, we can find the reciprocal of
`(1)/(6)` which is 6, and this will also change the division sign to multiplication. As such, we have:

`=2* (6)/(1)`

`= (12)/(1)`

Now, the division of
`2 / (1)/(6)` can be written as
`(12)/(1)` after multiplication.

Therefore, we can conclude that there are 12 equal-sized groups of
`(1)/(6)` in 2.
