To find the quotient of two fractions, you need to divide the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction and then divide the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.
The quotient of 1/2 and 12/7 is (1/2) ÷ (12/7).
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Reciprocal of 12/7 = 7/12
So, (1/2) ÷ (12/7) = (1/2) * (7/12).
Multiplying the numerators gives 1 * 7 = 7 and multiplying the denominators gives 2 * 12 = 24.
Therefore, (1/2) ÷ (12/7) = 7/24.
