Question

If 12 poster boards are cut into
1/6
pieces, how many pieces of poster board are there?

Answer 1

What you have to do here is divide 12 by 1/6, or you can also multiply 12 times the reciprocal of 1/6 which is 6. So 12 times 6 is 72, so the final answer is 72 pieces of poster board. YOU'RE WELCOME :)
