Answer:

The answer is
5(1)/(3) .

Explanation:

Given:

12 ÷ 2 1/4

Now, to solve it.


12/ 2( 1)/(4)

So, convert the mixed fraction into improper:


=12/ (9)/(4)

Now, we convert the divisions symbol into multiplication which makes the fraction into reciprocal:


=12* (4)/(9)


=(48)/(9)

Dividing numerator and denominator by 3 we get:


=(16)/(3)

Now, changing the resulting improper fraction into mixed:


=5(1)/(3)

Therefore, the answer is
5(1)/(3) .
