How To Calculate 1/6th of Something
A fraction expresses a part of a whole quantity. For example, if you cut a whole pie into six equal pieces, and then eat one slice, you've just eaten 1/6th of the pie. Working with fractions is easy if you understand the concept.
Turn your whole number into a fraction by putting it over the number "1." For instance, 24 will become "24/1."
Multiply 1/6 by 24/1. When multiplying fractions, there is no need to find a common denominator. The top part of the fraction, the numerator, is multiplied straight across, where 1 x 24 = 24. The denominator is also multiplied straight across, where 6 x 1 = 6. The final fraction is 24/6.
