Answer:

it can be written as 6/1 divided by 1/2

then you'll use the keep, switch, flip method. keep 6/1, switch division to multiplication, and flip 1/2 to become 2/1 or 2

now your equation is 6 x 2 = 12

Julio did 6 divided by 2. which could've been fixed if he changed the division sign to multiplication and multiplied
