Parker has 6 gallon jug of punch . He plans to give each friend 1/6 of a gallon of punch. How many friends can Parker give punch to ?

Answer 1

Since we're splitting things up, we're using division:

6 ÷ ¹/₆

Whenever we divide by a fraction, we flip the numerator and denominator, and multiply:

6 * ⁶/₁ = 6 * 6 = 36 friends
