Question

Write a related multiplication sentence that could help you find the quotient of 6 divided by one fourth

Answer 1

6 ÷
`(1)/(4)` = 6x4 = 24

Explanation:

We start with 6 ÷
`(1)/(4)` (Note that one fourth = 1/4)

Next, we use the fact the dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal (so i.e. the reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1 = 4), so we get:

6 ÷
`(1)/(4)` = 6x4 = 24 .
