Harper · Answer 1

I think it is 6/1

Step-by-step explanation:

You are wrong because 0.167 into a fraction is 167/1000 and that isn't one of the options but when I did it 1 1/2=3/2=1.5 and 1/4=0.25 so I did 1.5 divide by 0.25 and it gave me 6 so that why I think that my answer is correct and yours is not.
