7 ÷ 3 · 5x ÷ 12
7 ÷ 15x ÷ 12
7 ÷ 5x/4
28x/5

In this case, because there are no exponents or brackets, (BEDMAS) you would just do it in the order given.

7÷3×5x÷12= 7×1/3 × 5x × 1/12
To divide, make the numbers after the divide sign into fractions.(ex: 3= 1/3)
Then multiply it out:
= 7/3 × 5x/12
= 35x/34
Then because the numerator is bigger then the denominator, make the improper
fraction into a mixed fraction:
= 1 1x/34

Hope this helps!
