What is 12/61 Divided By 7/8

Solving $\frac{12}{61}\div\frac{7}{8}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{12}{61} \div \frac{7}{8} = \frac{12}{61} \times \frac{8}{7}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $12 \times 8 = 96$
• Multiply the Denominators: $61 \times 7 = 427$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{12}{61} \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{96}{427}$
