Answer:

2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4/6 is divided by 3/12, we write the mathematical expression as:


(4)/(6)/(3)/(12)

To obtain the quotient, we follow the steps below:

Step 1: Change the division sign to multiplication and take the inverse of the fraction after the division sign.


(4)/(6)*(12)/(3)

Step 2: Reduce the terms where possible.


\begin{gathered} =(4)/(1)*(2)/(3) \\ =(8)/(3) \\ =2(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

The quotient is 2 2/3.
