1 Answer

Sep 15, 2015

$6 \frac{1}{4} \div 12 = \frac{25}{48}$ $6 1/4 div 12 = 25/48$

Explanation:

Dividing by $12$ $12$ is the same as multiplying by $\frac{1}{12}$ $1/12$

$6 \frac{1}{4} \div 12 = 6 \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{12}$ $6 1/4 div 12 = 6 1/4 xx 1/12$

Re-writing $6 \frac{1}{4}$ $6 1/4$ as an improper fraction:

$XXX = \frac{25}{4} \times \frac{1}{12}$ $color(white)("XXX")= 25/4 xx 1/12$

$XXX = \frac{25}{4 \times 12}$ $color(white)("XXX")=25/(4 xx 12)$

$XXX = \frac{25}{48}$ $color(white)("XXX")=25/48$
