Write the fraction as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction
5/6 HURRY PLS

5 is the whole number, 1/6 is the unit fraction. A unit fraction is a fraction with 1 as the numerator.

We can think of 5 as 5/1

When we multiply 5/1 with 1/6, we get

(5/1)*(1/6) = (5*1)/(1*6) = 5/6

Use this rule to multiply fractions

(a/b)*(c/d) = (a*c)/(b*d)

You multiply the numerators together, and the denominators together.

i those same problems in math and dont know how to do them

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
