1/3x - 1/x = 1/6
Multiply everything by x (and simplify):
1/3 - 1 = x/6
-2/3 = x/6
Cross multiply:
3x = -12
Divide each side by 3:
x = -4
4
1/x - 1/(3x) = 1/6Multiply each side by 6x:6 - 2 = xx = 4
Let the number be x, then: 1/6 = 1/x - 1/3x = 3/3x - 1/3x = 2/3x = 1/6 but 1/6 = 2/12 → 2/3x = 2/12 → 3x = 12 → x = 4 The number is 4.

6 over 1 or simply 6
Six-fifths. Just flip the fraction.
Divide it by 6. e.g. One sixth of twelve is two because: 12 divided by 6 is 2. You can also multiply the number by 1/6, which will give you the same result.
Let n be the number, then: 1/n - 1/3n = 1/6 Solve the subtraction on the left: 1/n - 1/3n = 3/3n - 1/3n = 2/3n But we know this is 1/6, thus: 2/3n = 1/6 ⇒ 3n = 12 ⇒ n = 4 Thus the number is 4.
The sixth perfect number is 8,589,869,056.
sixth is an ordinal number already. six is the related cardinal number.
Answer: Your number times .16666666667 Answer: Either you use the fraction key (if your calculator has one - it is usually labelled something like a b/c); that will keep the result as a fraction. Or you just divide the number by six; that will show you the result in decimals.
Sixth = 6th
