Question

Complete the statement below to explain how this model shows that 1/6 ÷ 1/4 = 2/3.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 2/3 and I will show the working to prove that in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{6}$×$\frac{4}{1}$

Answer =$\frac{1}{6}$×$\frac{4}{1}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$

• So basically what is happening in the above steps what I have shown is that first I am changing the division sign into multiplication and then I am reciprocating the fraction  of 1/4 into 4/1 because on the other side of it is multiplying and after doing that I am simplifying the fraction 4/6 by dividing it  by 2 and hence I got a fraction of 2/3 as the answer

Answer 2

It takes 2/3 of a 1/4 bar to make 1/6
