To find the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7, we need to divide 1/2 by 12/7.
When dividing fractions, we take the reciprocal of the divisor (the fraction we are dividing by) and then multiply it by the dividend (the fraction we are dividing into).
So, the reciprocal of 12/7 is 7/12.
Therefore, 1/2 divided by 12/7 can be written as 1/2 multiplied by 7/12.
This gives us (1/2) * (7/12) = 7/24.
Hence, the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7 is 7/24.
