Question

What is 1/6 of one thousand

Answer 1

1/6 is the same as taking 1000 divided by six.

This is because when you multiply the two fractions together, 1000/6 is the solution.

So,

$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1000}{1}=\frac{1000}{6}\\\\\frac{1000}{6} = 1000\div 6= \frac{500}{3} or 166.6666$

Answer 2

1/6 * 1000 = 1000/6   = 166 2/3
