What is 2/3 divided 1/6 ?

Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to divide one fraction by another, you must multiply by the reciprocal(the reverse of a certain fraction). the reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1. so:
[tex]\frac{2}{3} / \frac{1}{6}[/tex] = multiply by the reciprocal of 1/6
[tex]\frac{2}{3} * \frac{6}{1}[/tex] = cross out
[tex]\frac{2}{1} * \frac{2}{1}[/tex] = multiply
[tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex] = simplify

Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
(2/3)/(1/6)
Eleminate the denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator with whatever is the reciprocal of the denominator. In this case the denominator is 1/6 so the reciprocal is 6/1 or "just" 6.
So, multiply numerator and denominator by 6. The next three (bold) steps, have been written down for explanatory purposes only, and normally are not nessasary.
(2/3)*6 / (1/6)*6
(2/3)*6 / (6/6)
(2/3)*6 / 1
(2/3)*6
12/3
