Explain how can tell without computing whether the quotient 1/2 divided by 6 is greater than 1 or less than 1

I think it is greater becwuse the number i start with

Without computing, you could picture it:

Draw exactly half of a pizza. If we share it among 6 people (cut it equally into 6 pieces), we can see that each piece is smaller than 1 whole pizza.

I relly dont know

1 / 2 divided by 6 = 1 / 12

1 / 12 is less than 1

It is 1/12 because if you can times 1/2 and make 6 into 1/6 then times them two and you get 1/12

Because the number I’m dividing (in this case 1/2) isn’t even a whole number to begin with. I can’t divide it and make it ‘more’.

i kinda know

The quotient of 1/2 divided by six is less than 1 because you aren't even dividing a whole number.

To determine whether the quotient 1/2 divided by 6 is greater than or less than 1 without computing the actual value, you can follow these steps:

1. Start with the fraction 1/2.
2. Observe that dividing by a number greater than 1 will result in a smaller quotient, while dividing by a number less than 1 will result in a larger quotient.
3. Since 6 is greater than 1, dividing by 6 will lead to a smaller quotient than if you were dividing by a number less than 1.
4. Therefore, the quotient of 1/2 divided by 6 will be less than 1.

In summary, you can determine that the quotient 1/2 divided by 6 is less than 1 without actually calculating by considering the fact that dividing by a number greater than 1 results in a smaller quotient.
