how to divide 7/12 by 14/15

Question

Need to know how to proceed getting the answer to the question what is 7/12 divided by 14/15

Answer 1

you need to rationalize the denominator first. do this by multiplying by the reciprical 15/14. what you do to the denominator do to the numerator 7/12X15/14. and you get 105/168 = .625

Answer 2

2 1/3 times 3 3/4

Answer 3

Answer 4

how to divide 1/4 by 2/3

Answer 5

Find a common denominator then change the numerator to match them. Then multiply.

Answer 6

How do yo divider 7/560

Answer 7

five eights

Answer 8

First, find the common denominator of 12 and 15. The easiest one would be 60. Now since you multiply 12x5 to get 60, multiply 7 (numerator) by 5 to get 35. Do the same to other fraction exceptt mulitplying numerator by 4 since 15x4=60. You should now have 35/60 divided by 56/60. Change the division sign to mulptiplication sign. Now find the reciprocal of 56/60 which is 60/56. Now just simply mulitply across and you should get 2100/3360. Now just simplify or put in lowest terms. Divide both numerator and denominator by 5. You should then get 420/672. Now divide both by 2. You should get 210/336. Now divide both by 3. You should get 70/112. Now again divide both by 2. Finally, divide both by 7 and the final answer should be  5/8. 

Answer 9

When you need to divide by a fraction, the first thing you do is invert the fraction and use it to multiply.

(7/12) / (14/15) = (7/12) * (15/14)

Multiply the two numerators, and multiply the two denominators

(7 * 15) / (12 * 14)

Simplify where possible: divide the 7 by 14, giving (1 * 15) / (12 * 2)      (7/14 is 1/2)

For the next step, visualize this: (15 is 3 * 5; 12 is 3 * 4) so we have (1 * 3 * 5) / (3 * 4 * 2)

Divide both the 15 and the 12 by 3: (1 * 5) / (4 * 2)       (we have divided the 3 in the numerator by the 3 in the denominator)

Perform the mulitplications: 5 / 8

If you have not been told to give the decimal equivalent, that is your answer. I'm sure, though, that the fraction is the answer that you are looking for.
