Given the numerical equation:
3 ÷ 5/6
Solution:
In dividing numbers, whereas we have a fraction in the denominator, instead of dividing the numbers directly. We take the reciprocal of the denominator and multiply it with the numerator. The reciprocal of the denominator simply means its inverse whereas if we have 5/6 the reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5
= 3/5/6
= 3(6/5)
= 18/5 or 3.6
Final answer:
= 18/5 or 3.6
