Question

Convert the following complex fractions into simple fractions.

$\frac{5}{{\displaystyle \frac{7}{12}}}$

Answer 1

While dividing the fraction, multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor then reduce the fraction into its lowest form.

$$\begin{gathered} =5÷\frac{7}{12} \\ =5\times \frac{12}{7} \\ =\frac{5\times 12}{7} \\ =\frac{60}{7} \end{gathered}$$
