Answer:
[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We are given the following expression:
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] ÷[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
And we would like to solve it
Whenever we are dividing fractions, we are actually multiplying the first fraction (in this case, 1/6) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (in this case, 1/5), which is the "flipped" version of that fraction; the value that is in the numerator becomes the value in the denominator, and the value in the denominator becomes the value in the numerator.
So the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1, or 5/1
So we will multiply 1/6 by 5
[tex]\frac{1}{6} * 5 = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]
The fraction is in the simplest form; 5/6 is the answer.
Hope this helps!
