Question

osing models
model shows the problem 1 ÷ 1/6?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall division rule

Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. So $1\div\frac{1}{6}=1\times6$.

Step2: Perform multiplication

$1\times6 = 6$.
We need to find a model that represents splitting 1 whole into groups of $\frac{1}{6}$ and counting the number of groups. A circle divided into 6 equal - sized parts (where each part is $\frac{1}{6}$ of the whole) can represent this. If we consider the whole circle as 1 and each of the 6 equal parts as $\frac{1}{6}$, then when we divide 1 by $\frac{1}{6}$, we are essentially asking how many $\frac{1}{6}$ are in 1, and the answer is 6.

Answer:

The circle divided into 6 equal - sized parts.
