Steps to divide 12 by 7/5
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so 12 ÷ 7/5 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 7/5 is 5/7, because a fraction and its reciprocal multiply to 1. Division by 7/5 therefore becomes multiplication by 5/7.
Step 3: Multiply across
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
12/1 × 5/7
=(12 × 5)/(1 × 7)
=60/7
Step 4: Write it as a mixed number
The numerator is larger than the denominator, so 60/7 can also be written as a mixed number.
