What is the quotient?


fraction 1 and 1 over 2

fraction 1 and 3 over 12

fraction 1 and 3 over 5

Answer 1

fraction 1 and 3 over 5

Explanation:

2:3 is equal to 8 blocks

5:12 is equal to 5 blocks

if you divide them, the result is:

8/5 which is the same as 1 3/5

because 5 is contained 1 time in 8 and the rest is 3
