what is 11/12 divide by 5/6
what is 12 2/5 divde by 5 1/6
whole numbers 12 and 5
To divide by a fraction, multiply by the inverse.
11/12 divided by 5/6 = 11/12 * 6/5
For the second problem, change both from a mixed fraction first.
12 2/5 = 62/5
You should be able to do the rest.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To divide fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (or inverse) of the second fraction.
For the first problem, to divide 11/12 by 5/6, you would multiply 11/12 by the reciprocal of 5/6, which is 6/5.
So, (11/12) ÷ (5/6) = (11/12) * (6/5).
To simplify this further, you can cancel out common factors between the numerator and denominator. In this case, 6 and 12 share a common factor of 6, which can be canceled out.
So, (11/12) * (6/5) = (11/2) * (1/5)
To multiply fractions, you can multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together.
So, (11/2) * (1/5) = (11 * 1) / (2 * 5) = 11/10.
Therefore, 11/12 ÷ 5/6 = 11/10.
For the second problem, you are dividing a mixed fraction, 12 2/5, by another mixed fraction, 5 1/6.
To divide mixed fractions, first convert them to improper fractions.
12 2/5 can be written as (12 * 5 + 2)/5 = 62/5.
5 1/6 can be written as (5 * 6 + 1)/6 = 31/6.
Now, you can proceed with the division as explained earlier.
(62/5) ÷ (31/6) = (62/5) * (6/31).
Simplifying this further would give you the final result.
