Question

If 5/6 is 180, what is 1/6?(please explain as well)

Answer 1

Divide your numerator by your denominator to get your answer

Answer 2

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5/6 = 180

lets find what 1/6 equals

To do this lets divide 180 by 5 to find 1/6

$\frac{180}{5} =36$

Therefore, 1/6 = 36

We know 180/5 will give us the answer because 180 is already 5/6 of the total; dividing by 5 will give us 1/6 of the total. Ex: if we had 4/6 of the total, we would divide by 4 to find 1/6.

Anyways, we can check our answer by doing:

36*5 = 216 then taking 5/6 of 216, which should equal 180

$216*\frac{5}{6} =180$

Therefore, we know 36 is the correct answer
