what would you divide 6 by to get 6?

1
OpenStudy (misty1212):

okay
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[\frac{6}{5}\div \frac{x}{5}=6\] you want \(x\)
OpenStudy (misty1212):
this is the same as saying \[\frac{6}{5}\times \frac{5}{x}=6\]
OpenStudy (90890908967777878888):
okay
OpenStudy (misty1212):
cancel the fives and get \[\frac{6}{x}=6\]

try this \[6\div6/5 \]
OpenStudy (misty1212):

OpenStudy (misty1212):
yes, the answer is 1
OpenStudy (90890908967777878888):

six divided by six is one
so six fifths divided by one fifth is also 1
OpenStudy (misty1212):
be careful because they are only asking you what goes in the numerator there
OpenStudy (90890908967777878888):
okay
OpenStudy (misty1212):
the numerator is just 1, but \[\frac{6}{5}\div \frac{1}{5}=6\]is correct
OpenStudy (90890908967777878888):
okay
