Answer:
(12)/(5)

Explanation:

When you divide fractions you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

To find the reciprocal of the fraction, you need to flip it. Then the original denominator will be the new numerator and the original numerator will be the new denominator.

Then, the reciprocal of the fraction
(5)/(12) is:


(12)/(5)

Therefore:


(3)/(4)÷
(5)/(12)= (3)/(4)* (12)/(5)

Hello There!

Dividing a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by its reciprocal.

This means that
(3)/(4) ÷
(5)/(12) is the same as multiplying
(3)/(4) by
(12)/(5).

So basically when you divide you leave the first fraction alone but the second fraction in this case, 5/12 you would flip the number on top and the number on bottom to 12/5.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
