Answer:


2 (2)/(3)

Explanation:

To divide by a fraction multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction (flip the fraction you are dividing by and multiply)


(4)/(6) * (12)/(3)

Reduce the fractions and multiply:


(4)/(1) * (2)/(3) = (4 * 2)/(1 * 3) = (8)/(3)

8/3 equals 2 2/3.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2 2/3

Explanation:

I'm going to change it to a multiplication problem by flipping the fraction after the division sign: 4/6 * 12/3

I'm going to reduce the fractions: 2/3 * 4

I'm going to write 4 as 4/1 : 2/3 * 4/1

Multiply straight across on top and straight across on bottom: 8/3

How many times does 3 go into 8: 2

The remainder of that is 2

So 8/3 can be written as 2 2/3 which really just means 2+2/3
