divide 3 5/6 /102/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand, is it 3 and five sixths divided by 102 over 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK so 3 5/6 is 23/6 , right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many sixths in 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many in 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If u have 6 in 1 how many in 3 times 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So u say that there are 6 sixths in 1 and 3 sixths in 3, is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many sixths in 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U can think of a sixth as being a slice of pizza if it helps..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, so going back to where we were 3 and 5/6 is (18 + 5) sixths or 23/6, do we agree now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18/30 is that right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have only asked uhow many sixths are in 3 and 5/6....?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 18 what where u get the 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From your original question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 3x6=18 and them use the 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, so u have 23 sixths altogether ie 23/6 OK?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23/6 is same as 23 * 1/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but why do you have the 23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U have 18 * 1/6 in 3 + 5*1/6 = 23*1/6 = 23/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
