Question

Divide 6/13 by 6/12 .         A. 9/16   B. 1/12   C. 13/12   D. 12/13

Answer 1

$\frac{\frac{6}{13}}{\frac{6}{12}}$

first simplify
$\frac{6}{12}$=$\frac{1}{2}$


$\frac{\frac{6}{13}}{\frac{1}{2}}$
make bottom number equal to 1
multiply whole thing by $\frac{\frac{2}{1}}{\frac{2}{1}}$
(since 1/2 times 2/1=2/2=1 so bottom number will be equal to 1)

$\frac{\frac{6}{13}}{\frac{1}{2}}$ times $\frac{\frac{2}{1}}{\frac{2}{1}}$= $\frac{\frac{12}{13}}{\frac{2}{2}}$ =$\frac{\frac{12}{13}}{1}$= $\frac{12}{13}$


easy way is
a/b divided by c/d=a/b times d/c
invert and multiply


answer is 12/13



answer is D
