5/6 / 1/6 = 5. Why? Because in a division problem where a number is divided by a fraction, you can simplify the process by flipping the fraction upside down (reciprocating) and multiplying rather than dividing.

So if we do that, then 5/6 / 1/6 becomes 5/6 x 6/1. When you multiply this across, top and bottom (5x6 and 6x1), it becomes 30/6 which equals 5.
