Question

A number sentence is shown.

_X 6 = 1/2

Which number makes the number sentence true?

a. 1/12

b. 1/3

c. 3

d. 12

Answer 1

`(1)/(12)`.

Explanation:

To solve this, let's name the unknown number "a". We would get the equation:

a ×6=
`(1)/(2)`

To solve for "a", we will need to divide both sides by 6, giving us:

`(1)/(2)` ÷6=
`(1)/(12)`.
