2/3 divided by
12/19
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
2/3 divided by 12/19 can be written as:
(2/3) * (19/12)
To simplify this further, you can cancel out the common factors between the numerator and denominator:
(2*19) / (3*12) = 38/36
Since both the numerator and denominator are even, you can simplify further by dividing both by 2:
38/36 = (19/18)
Therefore, 2/3 divided by 12/19 equals 19/18.
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of a fraction is found by swapping the numerator and denominator.
So, the reciprocal of 12/19 is 19/12.
Now, let's multiply the first fraction (2/3) by the reciprocal (19/12).
(2/3) x (19/12) = (2 x 19) / (3 x 12)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:
38 / 36
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
The greatest common divisor of 38 and 36 is 2.
Dividing both 38 and 36 by 2, we get:
19 / 18
Therefore, 2/3 divided by 12/19 is equal to 19/18.
To divide two fractions, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Flip the second fraction (the divisor) upside down. For example, if the given fractions are 2/3 divided by 12/19, the flipped version of 12/19 would be 19/12.
Step 2: Multiply the first fraction (the dividend) by the flipped version of the second fraction. In this case, multiply 2/3 by 19/12.
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible, by canceling out common factors between the numerator and denominator. If the numerator and denominator have no common factors, leave the fraction as it is.
Let's calculate it together:
(2/3) รท (12/19) = (2/3) * (19/12)
Next, multiply the numerators (2 * 19) to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators (3 * 12) to get the new denominator:
= (2 * 19) / (3 * 12)
= 38 / 36
Since both the numerator and denominator are even numbers, we can further simplify the fraction by dividing them both by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
= 19 / 18
Therefore, the result of 2/3 divided by 12/19 is 19/18.
