(6/6) • (x) = (1/3)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by dividing 6/6 on both sides like this:

((6/6) • (x)) / (6/6) = (1/3) / (6/6)

((6/6) • (x)) / (6/6) leaves x and (1/3) / (6/6) is 1/3 which means we end up with this x = 1/3. Therefore, the answer to "6/6 times what equals 1/3?" is as follows:
