Divide 8/12 by 3/12. Remember to invert the divisor and then to reduce to lowest terms
A. 96/36
B. 2 and 16/48
C. 2 and 2/3
D. 24/9
c
Rationale: To divide 8/12 by 3/12, you must invert the divisor so the equation becomes 8/12 3 12/3. You can cancel out the "12" in each resultant fraction, leaving 8/3. Reducing this to lowest terms involves making it a mixed number of 2-2/3.
