How many sixths equal one quarter?

Answer 1

One sixth and one half sixth. You can't make a quarter out of a whole number of sixths.

x . 1/6 = 1/4

4x = 6

x = 6/4 = 3/2 = one and a half.

So one and a half sixths make one quarter.

So if you had a cake that was divided in to sixths already, and you had to share it out evenly between four people, each would get one and a half pieces.
