Let the number be x, then:
1/6 = 1/x - 1/3x = 3/3x - 1/3x = 2/3x = 1/6
but 1/6 = 2/12
→ 2/3x = 2/12
→ 3x = 12
→ x = 4
The number is 4.
It is 4.

Answer: Your number times .16666666667 Answer: Either you use the fraction key (if your calculator has one - it is usually labelled something like a b/c); that will keep the result as a fraction. Or you just divide the number by six; that will show you the result in decimals.
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. In this instance, 5 / 1/6 = 5 x 6 = 30
To get one-sixth of a number, divide that number by six.
To divide a fraction by a fraction you multiply the first fraction, or dividend (number being divided), by the reciprocal (reversed, numerator becomes denominator and denominator becomes numerator) of the divisor (number dividing the divisor). In this case, 3/4 would be multiplied by 6/1 and the answer would be 18/4. Hope this helps :)

1/x - 1/(3x) = 1/6Multiply each side by 6x:6 - 2 = xx = 4
1/3x - 1/x = 1/6Multiply everything by x (and simplify):1/3 - 1 = x/6-2/3 = x/6Cross multiply:3x = -12Divide each side by 3:x = -4

6 over 1 or simply 6
Six-fifths. Just flip the fraction.
Divide it by 6. e.g. One sixth of twelve is two because: 12 divided by 6 is 2. You can also multiply the number by 1/6, which will give you the same result.
Let n be the number, then: 1/n - 1/3n = 1/6 Solve the subtraction on the left: 1/n - 1/3n = 3/3n - 1/3n = 2/3n But we know this is 1/6, thus: 2/3n = 1/6 ⇒ 3n = 12 ⇒ n = 4 Thus the number is 4.
The sixth perfect number is 8,589,869,056.
sixth is an ordinal number already. six is the related cardinal number.
