Solving $\frac{12}{61}\div\frac{1}{5}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{12}{61} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{12}{61} \times \frac{5}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $12 \times 5 = 60$
• Multiply the Denominators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{12}{61} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{60}{61}$
