The reciprocal of a fraction A/B is the fraction B/A. So the reciprocal of the fraction 1/6 is 6/1, which is just the number 6. six over one, or just six. (six). In a reciprocal, the numerator becomes the denominator and vice versa.
4
Six fifths or one and a fifth or 1.2
6/13
the answer to that question is six over forty
There are 6 one sixths in 1. 1 divided by 1/6 = 1 ÷ 1/6 = 1 * 6/1 = 6 1/6 is the reciprocal of 6. So any number multiplied by its reciprocal gives 1.
twelve (two times six)
There are eighteen sixths in three. This is calculated by recognizing that three can be expressed as a fraction: (3 = \frac{3}{1}). To find out how many sixths are in three, you multiply by the reciprocal of (\frac{1}{6}), which gives you (3 \times 6 = 18).
three sixths, or one half
To divide five-sixths by nine-tenths, you multiply five-sixths by the reciprocal of nine-tenths. The reciprocal of nine-tenths is ten-ninths. Thus, (5/6) ÷ (9/10) = (5/6) × (10/9) = 50/54, which simplifies to 25/27.
The reciprocal of one is one.
There are nine sixths because one whole equals six sixths and one half equals three sixths. So, six sixths plus three sixths equals nine sixths! Hope I helped!
One half is three sixths and one-third is two sixths. 3+2=5
