Question

2/3 of a cake is divided between 6 friends. How much do they each get?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

2/3 x6/1

Answer 2

`(1)/(9)`

Explanation:

`(2)/(3)` ÷
`(6)/(1)` =
`(2)/(3)` ×
`(1)/(6)`

To change the ÷ sign to a × sign, swap the denominators and numerators of the second fraction.

`(2)/(3)` ×
`(1)/(6)` =
`(2)/(18)`

Directly multiply. Numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators.

`(2)/(18)` =
`(1)/(9)`

Divide the fraction by 2 to simplify it.
