Question

t/6 = 12

Answer 1

Hey there!

Answer 2

We're dividing t by 6.

And to isolate t we need to do the opposite!!

Answer 3

Multiply by the reciprocal
t/6=6/t
t/6 * 6/t=t
12 *6=?

Answer 4

What's the opposite of division? @lilnitemare305

Answer 5

What is happening with the t?

Do that to both sides

Answer 6

Answer 7

@pooja195

You made a mistake.

Answer 8

When you multiply by the reciprocal you're going to get 1.

So t/6 * 6/t = 1, not t

Answer 9

t=1

Answer 10

It means the same thing it cancels out you are left with t

Answer 11

You have to multiply both sides by the reciprocal

t/6 * 6/t = 12 * 6/t

and if you state t = 1, that won't even work out.

Answer 12

1 isnt a choice

Answer 13

Answer 14

mulplication

Answer 15

So we need to multiply 6 on both sides so that way we can isolate 'x'!

Answer 16

So, multiply 6 on both sides

6 * t/6 = 12 * 6

t = ??

You did the same thing i did.

Answer 18

It's called multiplying by the reciprocal.

Answer 19

@pooja195

You multiplied by the reciprocal of t/6, not the reciprocal of 1/6. There is a difference and it will lead to more work.

Answer 20

LOL but you still get to the right answer.

Answer 21

I explained it through I showed and explained the steps.

Answer 22

Your work was confusing:
Multiply by the reciprocal
t/6=6/t
t/6 * 6/t=t
12 *6=?

You just basically made them do the last multiplication. You didn't guide them. :/
