What is 12/19 Divided By 1/5

Solving $\frac{12}{19}\div\frac{1}{5}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{12}{19} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{12}{19} \times \frac{5}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $12 \times 5 = 60$
• Multiply the Denominators: $19 \times 1 = 19$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{12}{19} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{60}{19}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{60}{19}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $60$ and $19$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{12}{19}\div\frac{1}{5} = \frac{60}{19}$
