What is 2/3 ÷ 12/19

1 answer

To divide two fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.

So, 2/3 ÷ 12/19 can be written as:

2/3 * 19/12

Multiplying the numerators (2 * 19) and the denominators (3 * 12), we get:

38/36

This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

38 ÷ 2 / 36 ÷ 2

This simplifies to:

19/18

So, 2/3 ÷ 12/19 equals 19/18.
