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.
20 1 sixth of 20 = 4 (20 divided by 6) 4 x 5 = 20 (answer) :)
There is one whole sixth in five sixths. To calculate this, you divide 5 by 1/6 (which is the same as multiplying by 6/1). So, 5 ÷ 1/6 = 5 x 6 = 30. Therefore, there are 30 sixth parts in five sixths.
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. In this instance, 5 / 1/6 = 5 x 6 = 30
5/6 divided by 4/5 = 5/6 x 5/4 = 25/24 = 1 1/24
5/6 - 2/3 = 1/6 or one sixth
