Best Answer

8 divide 1/6

This is division of fractions.

For division of fractions, remember the rule ' CHANGE THE SIGN TO 'MULTIPLY;' AND INVER (TURN OVER) THER RIGHT HAND FRACTION. Then proceed as for multiplication.

Hence

8 / ( 1/6) = 8 X 6/1 = 48/1 = 48

What this means is , that in one unit there are 6 #1/6#/

1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1

So in 8 units 48 of '1/6's/.
