To find the quotient of two fractions, you need to divide the numerator (top number) of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction. Similarly, divide the denominator (bottom number) of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.
Let's find the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7:
1/2 รท 12/7
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by flipping the numerator and denominator.
So, the reciprocal of 12/7 is 7/12.
Now, let's rewrite the expression using the reciprocal:
1/2 ร 7/12
To multiply fractions, simply multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:
(1 ร 7) / (2 ร 12) = 7/24
Therefore, the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7 is 7/24.
