Since 3/4 equals 0.75 we can change our expression to 6 divide by 0.75

b?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Or we can first make 6 into the fraction 6/1 so we can get \(\dfrac{6}{1} \div \dfrac{3}{4}\) Then we can flip the second fraction around, so we have its reciprocal. \(\dfrac{6}{1} \div \dfrac{4}{3}\) Do you know what we do next?

Hint: \(\Large\sf a \div \frac{b}{c} = a \times \frac{c}{b}\)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Can you tell me what is 6 x 3 and 1 x 4

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
