Answer: The unit fraction is
(1)/(7)

Explanation:

Since we have given that


(12)/(84)

We need to find the unit fraction of the above expression.

Since 12 and 84 are both divisible by 12.

As by dividing 12, numerator becomes unit.

So, it becomes,


(12/ 12)/(84/ 12)\\\\=(1)/(7)

Hence, the unit fraction is
(1)/(7)
