Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
9/10 DIVIDED BY 12/5 IS (9/10)*(5/12) WHEN YOU DIVIDE FRACTIONS THE RULE IS TO CHANGE THE DIVIDE TO A MULTIPLY AND INVERT THE SECOND FRACTION.
SO WE NOW HAVE (9/10)*(5/12) THEN WE MULTIPLY NUMERATORS AND DENOMINATORS AND GET 45/120 NOW WE HAVE TO REDUCE BY DIVIDING BOTH NUMERATOR & DENOMINATOR BY 15 AND WE GET 3/8. YOU MUST ALWAYS REDUCE THE FRACTION ANSWER TO IT'S LOWEST FORM.
