When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide 6 by 5 or 5 by 6 ?
Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.
The question wants to know the 'period'. That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.
If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get 'cycles/second'.
That's Hz. It's frequency, not time.
If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.
Period = (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)
= (6 / 5) seconds/cycle
= 1.2 seconds
