Find the quotient. 1/4 ÷ 1/12 =


{{\rm{ (1)/(4) / (1)/(12) }}} \\


{{\rm{\implies \: Divide (1)/(4) by \: (1)/(12) \: by \: multiplying}}} \\ {{\rm{ (1)/(4) by \: the \: reciprocal \: of \: (1)/(12)}}}


{{\rm{ (1)/(4) * 12 }}} \\


{{\rm{Multiply \: (1)/(4) \: and \: 12 \: to \: get \: (12)/(4)}}}


{{\rm{ (12)/(4) }}} \\


{{\rm{Divide \: 12 \: by \: 4 \: to \: get \: 3.}}}


\boxed{\begin{array}{}{{\rm\red{final \: answer:3}}}\end{array}}
