↝she says to find 6 divided by 2/3 i can just take the value of 6 divided by 1/3 then either multiply it by 1/2 or divide it by 2 do you agree with her explain why or why not

Answer ↷

• ↝Yes ,I do agree with her

because ,

`➝ \: (6)/( (2)/(3) ) = 6 * (3)/(2 ) = (18)/(2) = 9 \\`

and ,

`➝ \: (6)/( (1)/(3) ) = 6 * (3)/(1 ) = 18 \\`

Now,

`➝ \: 18 * (1)/(2) = 9 \\`

or

`➝ \: (18)/(2) = 9 \\`

hence , she's correct all the way ✓

Answer 2

She is correct.

Explanation:

Actual calculation:

`6 / \frac23=6 * \frac32=(6 * 3)/(2)=(18)/(2)=9`

Dividing a number by 1/3 is the same as multiplying it by 3:

`6 / \frac13=6 * \frac31=6 * 3 = 18`

Multiplying by 1/2 or dividing by 2 are the same operation.

If we divide 18 by 2 we get 9, which is the correct answer.
