Question

What is the quotient of 6 1/4 divided by 1/2?

Answer 1

`6 1/4 div 12 = 25/48`

Explanation:

Dividing by `12` is the same as multiplying by `1/12`

`6 1/4 div 12 = 6 1/4 xx 1/12`

Re-writing `6 1/4` as an improper fraction:

`color(white)("XXX")= 25/4 xx 1/12`

`color(white)("XXX")=25/(4 xx 12)`

`color(white)("XXX")=25/48`
