It is asking you to divide 
by 6.
Let's practise
Find ÷ 6
- Read the question and then read it again. What is it asking you to do?
Show me
- Imagine a diagram showing .
Show me
- If the fifths are divided into six there would be 30 parts, so each part must be 1/30.
Show me
- As the question asked for ÷ 6, one-sixth of each fifth can be crossed. This area is shown with darker shading.
This represents
of the whole.
