Question

Boo, I need help.
Julio believes that the quotient of 6 ÷ 1/2 = 3. Explain Julio’s error and tell how to find the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

12 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1) so whenever we're dividing with fractions we need to change the division sign to multiplication and turn the second fraction upside down (reciprocal)

so

6*2/1=12

Julio did change the division sign to multiplication but he forgot to take the reciprocal of the second fraction (he left the second fraction as is)

what Julio did: 6*1/2=3

Hope this helps!
