1/6 because you are breaking something into 6 and you got to share think of it like that so you get a smaller piece than you cutting it into 1/5...... so the answer is 1/6

1/6 is smaller because
1/6=5/30
1/5=6/30 and 6/30 is greater

Answer: $\displaystyle y= \frac{2\text{x}}{4\text{x} - 1}$

============================================

Work Shown:

$8\text{x}y= 2(2\text{x} + y)\\\\8\text{x}y= 4\text{x} + 2y\\\\8\text{x}y - 2y= 4\text{x}\\\\y(8\text{x} - 2)= 4\text{x}\\\\y= \frac{4\text{x}}{8\text{x} - 2}\\\\y= \frac{2*2\text{x}}{2(4\text{x} - 1)}\\\\y= \frac{2\text{x}}{4\text{x} - 1}\\\\$
