Answer 2

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing fractions, you want to multiply the reciprocal of the fraction (flip the fraction so the numerator is the denominator and the denominator is the numerator).

$4*\frac{12}{8}$

If you don't know how to multiply fractions as well, I will show you now.

Since 4 is just 4/1, I will convert just so you can visually see how I multiply.

$\frac{4}{1} * \frac{12}{8}$

When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators and the denominators.

So it would be 4 * 12 & 1 * 8

$\frac{4}{1} * \frac{12}{8} = \frac{48}{8}$

Your fraction is 48/8. But it can be simplified, let's divide 48/8. That equals 6!
