The length of one-sixth of the tape is 3 m. What is the length of the entire tape?

The fraction 1/6 indicates to us that the entire length of the tape was divided into six equal parts and one such part was taken. The length of one such part is 3 meters. This means that the total length of the tape is six times longer than three meters. Find the length of the entire tape by increasing one part of it six times, that is, multiplying by six:

3 meters * 6 pieces = 18 meters.

To summarize: the total length of the tape becomes only eighteen meters.
