Question

What is 6 divided by 5/9

Answer 1

6 / (5/9) = 6 x (9/5) = 54/5 = 108/10 = 10.8

or 54/5 = $10 \frac{4}{5}$

Answer 2

To work this out, we can turn 6 into a fraction
6 = 6/1
6/1 ÷ 5/9

When we divide decimals, we do SCF
Stick it, Change it, Flip it
This means:
We keep the first fraction the same
We change the divide sign to a multiply
We turn the last fraction upside down
6/1 x 9/5
We know to multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator
6 x 9 = 54
1 x 5 = 5 
54/5 → 10 4/5
