Answer: 36

Explanation:

If 5/6 = 180

lets find what 1/6 equals

To do this lets divide 180 by 5 to find 1/6


(180)/(5) =36

Therefore, 1/6 = 36


We know 180/5 will give us the answer because 180 is already 5/6 of the total; dividing by 5 will give us 1/6 of the total. Ex: if we had 4/6 of the total, we would divide by 4 to find 1/6.

Anyways, we can check our answer by doing:

36*5 = 216 then taking 5/6 of 216, which should equal 180


216*(5)/(6) =180

Therefore, we know 36 is the correct answer
