To find the quotient of two fractions, we need to divide the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction and divide the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.
The first fraction is 1/2, and the second fraction is 12/7.
Dividing the numerators: 1 ÷ 12 = 1/12
Dividing the denominators: 2 ÷ 7 = 2/7
So, the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7 is 1/12 ÷ 2/7, which simplifies to 1/12 * 7/2.
Multiplying the numerators: 1 * 7 = 7
Multiplying the denominators: 12 * 2 = 24
Therefore, the quotient is 7/24.
