12/15÷1/5

when dividing fractions, all you have to do is multiply the first number by the second number's reciprocal
(reciprocal is denominator over numerator)

12/15÷1/5
12/15×5/1

remember when multiplying fractions it's the the two numerators multiplied together over the two denominators multiplied

12/15×5/1
60/15
4

The answer is 4
