Question

How to divide a fraction​

Answer 1

Answer: Step 1. Turn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal):

16 becomes  61

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal:

(multiply tops ...)

12 ×  61  =   1 × 62 × 1  =   62

(... multiply bottoms)

 

Step 3. Simplify the fraction:

62  =  3
