Algebra Difficulty 1.2 Junior Find the answer Canada

If $\frac{1}{3}$ of $x$ is equal to $4$ , then $\frac{1}{6}$ of $x$ is equal to

Pick one

Solution

Since $\frac{1}{3}$ of $x$ is equal to 4, then $x$ is equal to $3 \times 4$ or 12. Thus, $\frac{1}{6}$ of $x$ is equal to $12 \div 6 = 2$ .

Alternatively, since $\frac{1}{6}$ is
one-half of $\frac{1}{3}$ , then $\frac{1}{6}$ of $x$ is equal to one-half of $\frac{1}{3}$ of $x$ , which is $4
$\div$ 2$ or 2.
