Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...
12 3 12 2 24 8 3
— ÷ — = — × — = — =— <em>or</em> 1 —
5 2 5 3 15 5 5
*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.
