6 ÷ one fifth what is the quotient?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Write down the 6. Change the division to a multiplication. Write the reciprocal of 1/5 instead of 1/5.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multipying by the reciprocal of the fraction.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

6 divided by 5 = 1.2 Here you are asking 6 divided by 1/5, so the answer is not 1.2
