Answer 1

Answer: Choice B

1/6÷2

Reason:

We have 6 slips of paper side by side. Shading one of those 6 represents the fraction 1/6.

Then split that shaded piece of paper in half as shown in the diagram. The blue region in that diagram represents 1/6÷2 which simplifies fully to 1/12.

If you were to do this to all 6 pieces of paper, then we'd have 2*6 = 12 smaller pieces. One of which is shaded, so that explains how we get 1/12.

In other words:

`(1)/(6) / 2 = (1)/(6) * (1)/(2) = (1)/(12)`
