To find the number of slices, we need to divide the whole peach by the size of each slice. Since each slice is 1/6 of the whole peach, we can find the number of slices by dividing 1 by 1/6.
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1, which is just 6.
So, Samantha's mom cuts the peaches into 6 slices.
Samantha’s mom cuts 2 peaches into slices that are 1/6 of the whole peach for her and her friends to eat. Using your knowledge of dividing and reciprocals, how many slices are there?(1 point)

Apologies for the confusion. I made an error in the previous response. Let's correct it.
If Samantha's mom cuts 2 peaches into slices that are 1/6 of the whole peach, we can find the number of slices by dividing the peaches by the size of each slice.
Each peach is divided into 1/6 slices, so for 2 peaches, we can multiply 2 by 1/6 to find the total number of slices.
2 * 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3
Therefore, there are 1/3 of a whole peach in total.
