Answer 2

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

12 ÷ $\frac{2}{4}$

=> $\frac{12}{1}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{4}$

=> $\frac{12}{1}$ × $\frac{4}{2}$ (Since we always have to multiply the dividend by the reciprocal* of the divisor when dividing fractions)

=> (By simplifying 12 and 2) $\frac{6}{1}$ × $\frac{4}{1}$

=> (By multiplying the numerators ( 6 x 4 ) and denominators ( 1 x 1 ) ) $\frac{24}{1}$ = 24

* Reciprocal is basically when a fraction is flipped.

Eg: The reciprocal of  $\frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$. We have basically flipped the fraction.

      The reciprocal of $\frac{8}{5}$ is $\frac{5}{8}$. WE have basically flipped the fraction.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!
