Question

What is the quotient of 4 and 1/6 in the simplest form? 1/24

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Let's first establish the problem we will solve.

= 4 ÷ 1 / 6

Now we will turn this from division into multiplication by changing the division symbol ( ÷ ) into a multiplication symbol ( × ) and doing the reciprocal of the fraction after the symbol. Reciprocal basically means to make the numerator the denominator and make the denominator the numerator in the fraction.

= 4 × 6

Now we will simply write the product of the two numbers to achieve our final answer.

= 24

Hope this helps! :)
