Question

How do I solve 1/2 ÷ 6

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this might be to change the 1/2 to 0.5 (Just put it in that way into your calculator)

Method One.

• 1
• ÷
• 2
• =
• 0.5
• Now write the problem like this
• 0.5 ÷ 6 and put that into your calculator.
• 0.5
• ÷
• 6
• = 0.083333 as a  decimal.

Method Two

• $\dfrac{\frac{1}{2} }{6} \Rightarrow \dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{6}{1}}$
• Invert the 6/1. Make it 1/6. Multiply this by 1/2
• $\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{6}$
• What you get is
• 1*1/(6*2) = 1/12
• 1/12 = 0.083333 Same answer as above.

Answer 2

Change it to multiplication by multiplying by 1/6 (multiply by the reciprocal is the same as dividing) and then do 1/2 * 1/6. It equals 1/12.
