Fractions (relevant for 6Q1)

To solve the problem of finding the average distance between stops on a bus route, we start with the total distance of $\frac{2}{3}$ km between the first and last stop. Given there are 10 stops, we need to divide this distance by 9 (since the distance is between stops, not including the first stop). The calculation involves dividing the fraction $\frac{2}{3}$ by 9, which is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal, $\frac{1}{9}$. Thus, the operation becomes:

Therefore, the average distance between each stop is $\frac{2}{27}$ km. This solution demonstrates how to handle division of fractions by whole numbers through multiplication by the reciprocal.
