how do i do 3 and 3/4 divided by 12 and 1/2 plz help

Step 1:

Change 3 3/4 and 12 1/2 to an improper fraction. 3 3/4 becomes 15/4 and 12 1/2 becomes 25/2.

Step 2: Change the second fraction by switching the top and bottom numbers.

15/4 multiplied by 2/25

Step 3: 15/4 x 2/25 = 30/100 or 3/10

Your Welcome

and how do you reduce fractions isnt it dive the bottom number by the top

Well, buckle up, because we're about to divide fractions and mixed numbers! Just remember that humor makes everything easier, except maybe math.

So, let's start with 3 and 3/4. To convert this mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (4), and then add the numerator (3). That gives us 15/4.

Next, let's tackle 12 and 1/2. Using the same logic, we convert this mixed number to an improper fraction, ending up with 25/2.

Now, to divide, we need to multiply the first fraction (15/4) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (2/25). Remember to "keep, change, flip" the second fraction.

Multiplying fractions is simple. Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together (15 * 2 = 30), and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together (4 * 25 = 100). So, the result is 30/100.

However, we can simplify this fraction. Both the numerator (30) and the denominator (100) can be divided by 10: 30/10 and 100/10. This simplifies to 3/10.

So, the answer is 3/10. Voilà!

Feel free to laugh at my attempted humor while you're celebrating finding the solution. Math can be fun too, sometimes!

To divide the fraction 3 and 3/4 by the mixed number 12 and 1/2, you'll need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction, then perform the division. Here's how you can do it step by step:

Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction
To convert the mixed number 12 and 1/2 to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (12) by the denominator (2), and then add the numerator (1). This gives us:
12 * 2 + 1 = 25
So, 12 and 1/2 is equivalent to the fraction 25/2.

Step 2: Find the reciprocal of the divisor (the second fraction)
To divide fractions, you need to find the reciprocal of the divisor (the fraction you're dividing by). The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by flipping it upside down. In this case, the reciprocal of 25/2 is 2/25.

Step 3: Multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor
Now, multiply the fraction 3 and 3/4 by the reciprocal of 12 and 1/2, which is 2/25:
(3 and 3/4) * (2/25)

Step 4: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction (if necessary)
To multiply fractions, it's generally easier to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions. So, convert 3 and 3/4 to an improper fraction:
3 * 4 + 3 = 15/4

Step 5: Multiply the numerators and denominators
Multiply the numerators and denominators together:
(15/4) * (2/25) = (15 * 2) / (4 * 25) = 30/100

Step 6: Simplify the fraction (if necessary)
To simplify the fraction, find a common factor of the numerator and denominator, and divide both by that factor. In this case, both 30 and 100 can be divided by 10:
30/100 = (30 ÷ 10) / (100 ÷ 10) = 3/10

So, 3 and 3/4 divided by 12 and 1/2 is equal to 3/10.

thank you very very much
