Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, they are correct. Hernando divided 6 by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Hernando ate 2/8 of a pizza for dinner.

Let the pizza be x. Then:

Hernando ate $\dfrac{2}{8} \ \ o f \ \ x$

Then he gave the rest of the pizza to his friends

Hernando now carried out the  following calculations to support his activities;

$\dfrac{6}{8} \div 6= \dfrac{6 \div 6}{8}= \dfrac{1}{8}$

$\dfrac{6}{8} \times \dfrac{1}{6}= \dfrac{6 \div 6}{8}= \dfrac{1}{8}$

From the above calculation; we will see that Hernando divided 6 by 6 in both cases to get $\dfrac{1}{8}$.

Thus, the correct answer is:

Yes, they are correct. Hernando divided 6 by 6.
