Samantha’s mom cuts 2 peaches into slices that are 1/6 of the whole peach for her and her friends to eat. Using your knowledge of dividing and reciprocals, how many slices are there?(1 point)
slices
Apologies for the mistake.
If Samantha's mom cuts 2 peaches into slices that are 1/6 of each peach, then each peach is divided into 6 equal slices.
Since there are 2 peaches, we can find the total number of slices by multiplying the number of slices per peach (6 slices) by the number of peaches (2 peaches).
6 slices/peach * 2 peaches = 12 slices
Therefore, there are 12 slices in total.
the answers are
1. 9. 6/1
2. 5/37
3. 12
4. 5/24
5. 3 11/21

What is the quotient of 1/8÷3/5 ?
To divide two fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.
So, we have:
1/8 ÷ 3/5 = 1/8 * 5/3
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
1/8 * 5/3 = (1 * 5) / (8 * 3) = 5/24
Therefore, the quotient of 1/8 ÷ 3/5 is 5/24.
What is the quotient of 5 2/7÷1 1/2 ?(1 point)

Apologies for the mistake.
To divide mixed numbers, we can convert them into improper fractions.
5 2/7 can be written as (5 * 7 + 2) / 7 = 37/7
1 1/2 can be written as (1 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2
Now we can divide:
37/7 ÷ 3/2
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:
37/7 * 2/3 = (37 * 2) / (7 * 3) = 74/21
Therefore, the quotient of 5 2/7 ÷ 1 1/2 is 74/21.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's correctly solve the problem:
To divide mixed numbers, we can convert them into improper fractions.
5 2/7 can be written as (5 * 7 + 2) / 7 = 37/7
1 1/2 can be written as (1 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2
Now we can divide:
(37/7) ÷ (3/2)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(37/7) * (2/3) = (37 * 2) / (7 * 3) = 74/21
Therefore, the quotient of 5 2/7 ÷ 1 1/2 is 74/21.
If the whole peach is divided into 1/6 slices, then we can find the number of slices by dividing 1 by 1/6.
1 / 1/6 = 1 * 6/1 = 6 slices.
Therefore, there are 6 slices.
