The answer is

a rational

3

1

Answer 2

Quotient = 3

Explanation:

We need to solve the given expression :

`((12)/(x-4))/((4)/(x-4))`

It can be done as follows :

As,
`((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a)/(b)* (d)/(c)`

So,

`((12)/(x-4))/((4)/(x-4))=(12)/(x-4)* (x-4)/(4)\\\\=(12)/(4)\\\\=3`

Hence, the required quotient is 3.
