Question

Tap the correct answer:
$60÷\frac{1}{3}=$

• A. $180$
• B. $240$
• C. $360$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $180$

Step 1: Turn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal)
$\frac{1}{3}$ becomes $\frac{3}{1}$

Step 2: Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal, multiply the top numbers and the bottom numbers as follows and then simplify it.

$\therefore \frac{60}{1}\times \frac{3}{1}=\frac{60\times 3}{1\times 1}$

$=\frac{180}{1}$

$=180$

Number of $\frac{1}{3}$s in 60 are 180.
