Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

6/1 divided by 3/4

6/1*4/3

24/3=8

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 3/4 and 6, which will show many pieces can be cut. If you multiplied, it would combine both 3/4 and 6. If you subtracted you will take 3/4 from the 6 feet. If you added you would add on 3/4 on to the 6 feet.

Keep $\frac{3}{4\\}$. Change the division to multiplication. Flip the 6 to $\frac{1}{6}$.

Now multiply it out straight.

$\frac{3}{4\\}$×$\frac{6}{1}$

$\frac{3}{4\\}$×$\frac{1}{6}$

3×1=3

4×6=24

$\frac{3}{24} =\frac{1}{8}$
