Question

1/6 divided by 5/6 i really need help

Answer 1

Answer: 1/5

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, use the strategy of KCF (keep, change, flip). Keep the first fraction (this is a must) and then flip the second fraction.

In this case it would be 6/5. Then multiply both fractions, this would be 1 by 6 and 6 by 5. (6/30) in simplest form is 1/5, in the end to get the simplest form you would have to divide both the numerator and denominator by their common factor.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

We can solve this problem using the Skip, Flip, Multiply method of division.

We start by skipping 1/6, since it’s the first fraction. Next, we flip 5/6 so that it becomes 6/5. Now, let’s multiply:

1/6 • 6/5 = 6/30

6/30 can be reduced to 1/5.

Therefore, 1/6 / 5/6 gives us 1/5.
