12 divided by 4/5=__
3/4 divided by 7/8=__
8 divided by 6/7=__
8/11 divided by 4/7=__
4 divided by 5/7=__
3/4 divided by 1/12=_

Answer 1

(12)÷(4/5)=12*(5/4)=60/4=15

(3/4)÷(7/8)=3/4*8/7=24/28=12/14=6/7

(8)÷(6/7)=8*(7/6)=56/6=28/3

(8/11)÷(4/7)=8/11*7/4=56/44=14/11

(4)÷(5/7)=4*(7/5)=28/5

(3/4)÷(1/12)=3/4*12/1=36/4=9

Answer 2

To divide fractions, multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.


`12 * (5)/(4) = (60)/(4) = 15`


`(3)/(4)* (8)/(7) = (24)/(28) = (6)/(7)`


`8* (7)/(6) = (56)/(6) = (28)/(3)`


`(8)/(11) * (7)/(4) = (56)/(44) = (14)/(11)`


`4* (7)/(5) = (28)/(5)`


`(3)/(4) * (12)/(1) = (36)/(4) = 9`
