To find the quotient of 5/12 and 1 1/6, we first need to convert the mixed number 1 1/6 into an improper fraction.
1 is the whole number, 1 is the numerator, and 6 is the denominator, so the improper fraction equivalent of 1 1/6 is (1 * 6 + 1) / 6 = 7 / 6.
Now we can proceed with the division:
5/12 ÷ 7/6
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
5/12 * 6/7
We multiply the numerators and denominators:
(5 * 6) / (12 * 7) = 30/84
The simplified form of 30/84 is 5/14.
Therefore, the quotient of 5/12 and 1 1/6 is 5/14.
