To divide 5/12 by 1 1/6, we need to convert the mixed number 1 1/6 into an improper fraction.

1 1/6 = 6/6 + 1/6 = 7/6

Now, we can divide 5/12 by 7/6:

(5/12) ÷ (7/6)
= (5/12) x (6/7)
= 30/84
= 5/14

Therefore, the quotient of 5/12 and 1 1/6 is 5/14.
Mrs. Patel has two plants. The first plant has a height of 0.6 meter. The height of the second plant is 0.25 meter shorter.

What is the height of Mrs. Patel’s second plant?
The second plant is 0.25 meters shorter than the first plant, which has a height of 0.6 meters.

Height of second plant = Height of first plant - 0.25 meters
Height of second plant = 0.6 meters - 0.25 meters
Height of second plant = 0.35 meters

Therefore, the height of Mrs. Patel's second plant is 0.35 meters.
