Divide 8/12 by 3/12. Remember to invert the divisor and then to reduce to lowest terms.
A) 96/36
B) 2 and 16/48
C) 2 and 2/3
D) 24/9
C) 2 and 2/3
To divide 8/12 by 3/12, you must invert the divisor so the equation becomes 8/12 × 12/3. You can cancel out the "12" in each resultant fraction, leaving 8/3. Reducing this to lowest terms involves making it a mixed number of 2-2/3.
