Question

I NEED HELP ON MY MATH TEST ASAP

Answer 1

The answers are different because he used the multiplication of the fractions incorrectly.

Explanation:

`(3)/(4) / 6`

we know that a whole number 6 can be written as a fractions as:

`(6)/(1)`

so the new equation will be:

`(3)/(4) / (6)/(1)`

we know that in division of fractions, we flip the divisor in the equation so that it becomes:

`(3)/(4) * (1)/(6)`

now we can cross multiply and cancel stuff off so it will become:

`(1)/(4) * (1)/(2)`

and now we can multiply denominator and numerator since nothing else can be canceled off:

`= (1)/(8)`

and 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125

hence the fraction multiplication in the question was incorrect
