2/6 is a fraction. the denominator has to be an even number.
Answer: 6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
When finding the reciprocal, we essentially just "flip" or take the inverse of the number we are given. For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 would be 2/1 or 2. The given number multiplied by the reciprocal should always equal 1. If it does, then we know we are correct.
In this case, we are finding the reciprocal of 5/6, so we "flip" the numerator and the denominator to get 6/5.
To check our work, we need to multiply our original number and its reciprocal.
5/6 x 6/5 = 30/30 = 1
Now, we know we are correct, that the reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.
I'm not going to say the answer because i want you to figure it out.
But here.
For Part A: There are 665 pounds of apples, 35 go in each box. You have to find out how many boxes there will be. How will you break apart 665 by 35? (Division) After that, you got your answer!
Part B: Just write down your answer from Part A.
First, find the lowest common denominator. That is 12. You only have to change 3/4 into 12ths.
3/4 = 9/12
11/12 – 9/12 = 2/12 = 1/6
