What is 1/2 divided by 1/6

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication.

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators.

Since 6 divided by 2 equals 3, 3 is the answer.

Craig has five weeks to read an 850-page book.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

170 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Craig has to read 850 pages in 5 weeks. If we set up a proportion, we have...

$\frac{850 pages}{5 weeks} =\frac{x pages}{1 week}$

5x = 850

x = 850 / 5

x = 170 pages.
