Question

40/6 to a mixed number

Answer 1

You have to think how many times 6 will go into 40. To do this, we just divide.

40/6 = 6.6666666 (infinite)

The whole number is 6 which means that 6 will go into 40 six times.

To find the remainder, we multiply the denominator by the quotient.
6 * 6 = 36

The difference between that and the numerator is the remainder.

40 - 36 = 4

The remainder will be 4/6

6 4/6

Think of it this way:

6/6 6 times and 4/6 left over

6/6 ~ 6/6 ~ 6/6 ~ 6/6 ~ 6/6 ~ 6/6 ~ 4/6

Answer 2

6 goes into 40 6 times with a remainder of 4/6.
