multiplying a number by 6/4 is the same as dividing it by?

Question

is it 3/2 or 4/3

Answer 1

When you divide the numerator and denominator by 2 -- 6/4 = 3/2

Answer 2

First, reduce 6/4

6/4 = 3/2

For example, dividing 6 by 2/3 is the same as multiplying 6 by the reciprocal of 2/3.

6/(2/3) = 6 * 3/2 = 18/2 = 9

So, multiplying 6 by 3/2 is the same as dividing by 6 by the reciprocal of 3/2.

6 * 3/2 = 6/(2/3) = 18/2 = 9

Neither of your answers, 3/2 or 4/3, is correct.

You should be able to arrive at the correct answer from my example.
