2/3 divided by 1/6=?

Question

Think: how many sixths are in 2/3?
There are ________ sixths in the shaded 2/3.

Answer 1

To find out how many sixths are in \( \frac{2}{3} \), we can divide \( \frac{2}{3} \) by \( \frac{1}{6} \):

\[ \frac{2}{3} \div \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{6}{1} \]

Now multiply the fractions:

\[ = \frac{2 \times 6}{3 \times 1} = \frac{12}{3} = 4 \]

So, there are 4 sixths in \( \frac{2}{3} \).
