Why does it takes 3 copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as 1copy of 1 / 2

Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.

We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.

(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3

This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.

Because 3 times 1/6 is 3/6 which can be simplified to 1/2

Which expression shows the prime factorization of 36?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
36....we need to break this down...12 * 3 = 36
12 * 3....we can break this down because 12 is not prime...4 * 3 = 12
4 * 3 * 3...we can break the 4 down because it is not prime
2 * 2 * 3 * 3 <==== prime factorization
