Answer 1

Divide 6/13 by 6/12 .
d 12/13
1. make the fractions in decimals
2. divide the two
3. match it up

Answer 2

`((6)/(13))/((6)/(12))`

first simplify

`(6)/(12)`=
`(1)/(2)`



`((6)/(13))/((1)/(2))`
make bottom number equal to 1
multiply whole thing by
`((2)/(1))/((2)/(1))`
(since 1/2 times 2/1=2/2=1 so bottom number will be equal to 1)


`((6)/(13))/((1)/(2))` times
`((2)/(1))/((2)/(1))`=
`((12)/(13))/((2)/(2))` =
`((12)/(13))/(1)`=
`(12)/(13)`


easy way is
a/b divided by c/d=a/b times d/c
invert and multiply


answer is 12/13



answer is D
