Question

Evaluate the expression
pi/6 over 1/4
i really dont understand

Answer 1

Do you mean

$$ \frac{\frac{\pi}{6}}{4} $$

?

Answer 2

theres a 1 over the 4

Answer 3

Basically what they're saying is \[\frac{ \frac{ \pi }{ 6 } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } }\]?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Sorry, I read that wrong

Answer 6

Look at pi/6 (itself a fraction) as the numerator of a new fraction; look at 1/4 as the denominator of this new fraction...exactly as DangerousJesse has shown you.

Answer 7

What is the rule for dividing one fraction by another (as you must do here)?

Answer 8

flip?

Answer 9

Take the denominator, flip it, and then multiply the result by the numerator.

Here, take the denominator, 1/4, flip it over (to get 4/1), and multiply that by the numerator pi/6.

Answer 10

\[(\frac{ \pi }{ 6 }) \div (\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }) = (\frac{ \pi }{ 6 }) \times (\frac{ 4 }{ 1 })\]
