Steps to divide 9/10 by 12

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so 9/10 ÷ 12 is solved by turning the divisor upside down and multiplying. Here is every step.

Step 1: Write both numbers as fractions

A whole number is written over 1, and a mixed number becomes an improper fraction: multiply the whole part by the denominator and add the numerator.

12 = 12/1

Step 2: Flip the divisor

The reciprocal of 12/1 is 1/12, because a fraction and its reciprocal multiply to 1. Division by 12/1 therefore becomes multiplication by 1/12.

9/10 ÷ 12/1 = 9/10 × 1/12

Step 3: Multiply across

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

9/10 × 1/12

=

(9 × 1)/(10 × 12)

=

9/120

Step 4: Reduce the fraction

The greatest common factor of 9 and 120 is 3, so divide both parts by it.

9/120

=

3/40

9/10 ÷ 12
