Question

H e l p p l e a s e

Answer 1

17.) 12

18.) 1/15

Explanation:

2 ÷
`(1)/(6)`

This problem is asking how many
`(1)/(6)` 's can go into 2 blocks. If you divide one box into 6 parts, each tiny box will be
`(1)/(6)` of the whole. Divide the other box into 6 parts as well, and you will get 12 of these
`(1)/(6)` parts. Check your answer by multiplying 12 by
`(1)/(6)`. The answer is
`(12)/(6)` which is also equal to 2.

`(1)/(3)` ÷ 5

For this one, think of it as we have one big box divided into thirds. We want to divide each
`(1)/(3)` portion by 5. So you should have 5 tiny boxes in each
`(1)/(3)` which gives you a total of 15 boxes. But if we look at it as one big box divided into 15 parts, we know that each of those is
`(1)/(15)`. Check your answer by multiplying
`(1)/(15)` by 5 and you get
`(5)/(15)` which is equal to
`(1)/(3)`.
