Explain how you can tell without computing whether the quotient one half divided by 6 is greater than 1 or less than 1?

To determine whether one half divided by 6 is greater than or less than 1 without computing, we can compare the values conceptually. One half (1/2) is less than 1, and dividing it by a positive number (in this case, 6) will yield a smaller result. Since any positive number divided into a fraction less than 1 will still be less than 1, we can conclude that one half divided by 6 is less than 1.
