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)
To find the number of slices, we need to divide the whole peach by the size of each slice. Since each slice is 1/6 of the whole peach, we can find the number of slices by dividing 1 by 1/6.
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1, which is just 6.
So, Samantha's mom cuts the peaches into 6 slices.
are you sure
Apologies for the confusion. I made an error in the previous response. Let's correct it.
If Samantha's mom cuts 2 peaches into slices that are 1/6 of the whole peach, we can find the number of slices by dividing the peaches by the size of each slice.
Each peach is divided into 1/6 slices, so for 2 peaches, we can multiply 2 by 1/6 to find the total number of slices.
2 * 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3
Therefore, there are 1/3 of a whole peach in total.
