Answer 1

Question:

Brandy solved 1/6÷ 5 by using a related multiplication expression. which multiplication expression did she use

Answer:

The expression that she can use is $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{5}$

Solution:

Given that Brandy solved the following expression

$\frac{1}{6} \div 5$

We have to find the multiplication expression she used

From given expression,

$\frac{1}{6} \div 5$

We can convert the division symbol to multiplication

Convert the fraction division process to a multiplication process by using the following steps:

Change the “÷” (division sign) to “x” (multiplication sign) and invert the number to the right of the sign.

Multiply the numerators. Multiply the denominators

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{6} \div 5 = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{6} \div 5 = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{30}$

Thus, the expression that she can use is $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{5}$
