C. start fraction 1 over 30 end fraction
D. 5

Answer 1

To solve for the small grey box, we can start by simplifying the left-hand side of the equation:

six-fifths ÷ small grey box = 6

We can simplify six-fifths as 1 and 1/5 or 6/5. Substituting that in, we get:

6/5 ÷ small grey box = 6

To isolate small grey box, we need to divide both sides by 6/5:

small grey box = 6/5 ÷ 6

Simplifying the right-hand side, we get:

small grey box = 1/5

Therefore, the answer is A. start fraction 1 over 5 end fraction.
