Question

A moving company had 1/6 of a ton of weight to move across town. If they wanted to split it equally amongst 4 trips, how much weight would they have on each trip?

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{6} \div \frac{4}{1} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{24} \: of \: a \: ton \: for \: trip$
