Question

How many sixths are there in 23/9

Answer 1

15 1/3

Explanation:

It's basically asking how many 1/6's are needed to make 23/9 or 23/9 divided by 1/6. 23/9 divided by 1/6 is also equal to 23/9 * 6= 138/9

We still need to simplify 138/9 - so we divide the numerator and denominator by 3 and we get 46/3 = 15 1/3

Answer 2

We can show this by multiplication: 3*(1/3) = 3/3 = 1. Therefore, if we have 9 whole numbers, and there are three thirds in every whole number, then there are 9x3 thirds in 9, which is 27.

It takes two one-sixths to make a third. and we can see that there are 1 \times 6 = 6 sixths in a whole.
