Explanation:

What times 1/6 equals 1/3

To get this Answer, we have to give a temporary assumption. And then place the assumed figure as the number that must be multiplied to 1/6 to give 1/3

Let that assumed figure be x. Rephrasing the question, we now have:

x multiplied by 1/6 equals 1/3

x(1/6)=1/3

x/6=1/3

Cross multiply

3x=6(1)

3x=6

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3=6/3

x=6/3

x=2

2(1/6)=1/3

2/6=1/3

1/3=1/3
