Practice makes perfect

Before we can find the quotient, we will first rewrite the whole number 12 as a fraction.

12÷ 3/8

Write as a fraction

12/1÷3/8

Next, recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 12/1÷3/8=12/1* 8/3 When multiplying fractions, remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.

12/1* 8/3

Multiply fractions

12* 8/1* 3

Multiply

96/3
