Given the mathematical expression:

9.635 ÷ 12.9

Here we are to divide 9.635 by 12.9

To make the division easier, let's first convert the decimals to whole numbers.

Multiply both terms by 1000:

9.635 x 1000 = 9635

12.9 x 1000 = 12900

Now, to divide, we have:

Using a calculator to perform the division, we have:

`9.635\text{ }÷\text{ }12.9\text{ = 0.7468992248}`

Therefore, after performing the mathematical operation, we have:

0.7468992248
