Question

1/6 divided by 5/9= divide the fraction. Find the quotient

Answer 1

Whenever we divide a fraction by another fraction, we are basically multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Let's use it to divide:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{5}{9}} \\ =\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{9}{5} \\ =\frac{1\times9}{6\times5} \\ =\frac{9}{30} \\ =\frac{3}{10} \end{gathered}$

The answer (quotient) is 3/10
