Answer:

x/12year

Explanation:

Let's solve the question

Let the interpret the question first

We have 12 months in 1 year

So we are to solve for the number of years in x month

Let the unknown year be y

So let's solve

12 months=1 year

x month=y year

Cross multiply

12y=x

Let's make y the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 12

y=x/12

So the value of y is x/12 years

We cannot solve further
