Answer: 5/6

Step-by-step explanation: Another way of writing this problem is 2/1 ÷ 12/5. To solve this division problem, you must multiply the recipricol of the divisor. The recipricol of 12/5 is 5/12, so the new expression will look like this: 2/1 x 5/12. You can solve this by multiplying the numorators and then multiplying the denonimators to get 10/12. The simplified version of 10/12 can be expressed as 5/6.
