To find the quotient of two fractions, you need to divide the numerators and denominators.
The quotient of 1/2 and 12/7 is (1/2) ÷ (12/7).
To divide fractions, you invert the second fraction (the divisor) and multiply it by the first fraction (the dividend):
(1/2) ÷ (12/7) = (1/2) × (7/12).
Now, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(1 × 7) / (2 × 12) = 7/24.
Therefore, the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7 is 7/24.
