Answer:
The answer is 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide: 2/6 : 4 = 2/6 · 1/4= 2 · 1/6 · 4 = 2/24 = 2 · 1 / 2 · 12 = 1 /12
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 4/1 is 1/4) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 1/12
.
In words - two sixths divided by four = one twelfth.
