Exercise 1.
A construction company is setting up signs on 2 miles of a road. If the company places a sign at every mile, how many signs will it use?
Answer:
2 ÷ \(\frac{1}{4}\) → Haw many \(\frac{1}{4}\) in 2?
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 2 Exercise Answer Key 6
2 ÷ \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 8 fourths ÷ 1 fourth = 8
There are 8 fourths in 2. The company will use 8 signs.

Exercise 2.
George bought 4 submarine sandwiches for a birthday party. If each person will eat \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a sandwich, how many people can George feed?
Answer:
4 ÷ \(\frac{2}{3}\) → Haw many \(\frac{2}{3}\) in 2?

4 ÷ \(\frac{2}{3}\) = 12 thirds ÷ 2 thirds = 8
There are 6 two-thirds in 4. George can feed 6 people.

Exercise 3.
Miranda buys 6 pounds of nuts. If she puts \(\frac{3}{4}\) pound In each bag, how many bags can she make?
Answer:
6 ÷ \(\frac{3}{4}\) → Haw many \(\frac{3}{4}\) in 6?
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 2 Exercise Answer Key 7
6 ÷ \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 24 fourths ÷ 3 fourths = 8
There are 8 three-fourths in 6. Miranda can make 8 bags.

Exercise 4.
Margo freezes 8 cups of strawberries. If this is \(\frac{2}{3}\) of the total strawberries that she picked, how many cups of strawberries did Margo pick?
Answer:
8 ÷ \(\frac{2}{3}\) → 8 is \(\frac{2}{3}\) group of what size?
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 2 Exercise Answer Key 8
2 units = 8
1 unit = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
3 units = 3 × 4 = 12
Margo picked 12 cups of strawberries.

Exercise 5.
Regina is chopping up wood. She has chopped 10 logs so far. If the 10 logs represent \(\frac{5}{8}\) of all the logs that need to be chopped, how many logs need to be chopped in all?
Answer:
10 ÷ \(\frac{5}{8}\) → 10 is 6 ÷ \(\frac{5}{8}\) group of what size?
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 2 Exercise Answer Key 9
5 units = 10
1 unit = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
B units = 8 × 2 = 16
Regina will chop 16 logs.

Question 2.
A Boy Scout has 3 meters of rope. He cuts the rope into cords \(\frac{3}{5}\)m long. How many cords will he make?
Answer:
How many \(\frac{3}{5}\) are in 3?
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 2 Problem Set Answer Key 11
3 ÷ \(\frac{3}{5}\) = 15 fifths ÷ 3 fifths = \(\frac{15}{3}\) = 5
The Boy Scout can make 5 cords.

Question 3.
12 gallons of water fill a tank to \(\frac{3}{4}\) capacity.
a. What is the capacity of the tank?
Answer:
12 ÷ \(\frac{3}{4}\)
12 is \(\frac{3}{4}\) of what number?
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 2 Problem Set Answer Key 12
3units = 12
1 unit = 12 ÷ 3 = 4
4 units = 4 × 4 = 16
The tank’s capacity is 16 gallons.

b. If the tank is then filled to capacity, how many half-gallon bottles can be filled with the water in the tank?
Answer:
How many \(\frac{1}{2}\) are in 16?
16 ÷ \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 32 halves ÷ 1 half = 32
32 bottles can be filled.

Question 4.
Hunter spent \(\frac{2}{3}\) of his money on a video game before spending half of his remaining money on lunch. If his lunch costs $10, how much money did he have at first?
Answer:
$10 is \(\frac{1}{6}\) of what number?
10 ÷ \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Answer:
\(\frac{4}{5} \div 3=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{4}{15}\) Each charity received \(\frac{4}{15}\) of Mr. Scruggs’ birthday money.

b. If he donated $60 to each charity, how much money did he receive for his birthday?
Answer:
60 is \(\frac{4}{15}\) of what number?
60 ÷ \(\frac{4}{15}\)
