6 2/3
You cannot divide a fraction by a fraction. Instead, multiply by the reciprocal (flip the second fraction and multiply)
12 / 3 12 5
— — = —- X —
3 5 3 3

Multiply straight across.
= 60

9
Simplify
9 goes into 60 6 times with 6 left over.
= 6 6/9 which simplifies into 6 2/3

Answer:

If it looks like this then this is the answer but other wise say it more specific. 12/3=4 3/5=0.6....4/0.6=6.67
