To divide the fraction 2/3 by 12/19, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The reciprocal of 12/19 is 19/12.

So, the division can be rewritten as multiplication:

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:

1 * 19 = 19
3 * 6 = 18

Therefore, 2/3 ÷ 12/19 = 19/18.
