Question

A number is divided by 1/6. Write an expression for this situation.
6x
x/6
60x
9x

Answer 1

When a number \( x \) is divided by \( \frac{1}{6} \), you multiply \( x \) by the reciprocal of \( \frac{1}{6} \), which is 6. Therefore, the expression for this situation is:

\[ x \div \frac{1}{6} = x \times 6 = 6x \]

So, the correct expression is \( 6x \).
