I need help with sixth grade math.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its quiz corrections.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okaay theres a few though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5/6 \div 1/3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write it in the group chat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/6 x 1/3's resipricle which is 3/1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5 times 3 is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 6 times 1 is...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and u simplify it right so it would be 5/2 but thenwhat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats your answer to 5/6 divided by 1/3! good job! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooo ty, can you help me out more. :DD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, 3 divided by 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know u have to put the 3 over the 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so now you have to turn the 3 to a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is three as a fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, uhmmmm, 3/1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, so 3/1 times 2/3's resipricle. what is 2/3's resipricle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/2, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, and then you have to multiply it so it would equal 9/2 right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! you got it! any more problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alot, its quiz corrections lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bring it! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 2/3 divided by 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now you have to turn the mixed number (1 2/3) into an improper fraction(for example 4/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo i always get confused on that. D;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so first you get the denominator (in this case, 3) and multiply it by the number thats on its own (in this case, 1).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, then you get 3 and add it to the numerator (in this case, 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3+2 is 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woops i mean 5, lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol its ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i thought it was 3x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you get 5 and make it the numerator on your new fraction and then get the denominator from the mixed number (3), so your new fraction is 5/3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now take 6 and make it a fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then make 6/1 a resipricle. so then you finally do the problem. 5/3 x 1/6 =...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that in its simplest form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good job! now make 5/18 a mixed number. do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo.. ;[

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. ill teach you, but its a little harder.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wait wait, you're done! 5/18 is not an improper fraction so there is no point in making it a mixed number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well I have to go. goodbye, hope you do good on your test! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i mean quiz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, the answer to 5/6 divided by 1/3 is not 5/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 15/3, trust me I made a mistake this is the real answer 15/3
