Question

Use this model to determine the answer what is 6÷1/5

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

There are a couple of ways to do this. One way is the traditional way.

`(6)/(1)`÷
`(1)/(5)` Then multiply by the reciprocal

`(6)/(1)` x
`(5)/(1)` =
`(30)/(1)` = 30

Another way that is more intuitive:

`(6)/(1)`÷
`(1)/(5)` Get a common denominator of 15

`(90)/(15)`÷
`(3)/(15)` =
`((90)/(3) )/((15)/(15) )`=
`(30)/(1)` = 30

Answer 2

Answer: 30

Explanation:

6 divided by 1/5 is the same as 6/1 * 5/1

6/1 * 5/1 = 30/1

=30

30/5 = 6
