Carla wants to know how many batches of birdseed she can make with 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds. She puts 1/6 cup of sunflower seeds in every batch. Carla divides 1/2 by 1/6 to find the answer. She says this is the same as multiplying 1/6 by 2; explain what Carla did wrong and show the correct solution.

she was wrong because when you divide 1/2 by 1/6 its not the same as multiplying 1/6 by 2 but you do get the same answer its just the wrong equation
