Chapter 1: Problem 58

Perform the indicated operation. Where possible, reduce the answer to its lowest terms. $$3 \div \frac{12}{7}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The answer to the operation is \(\frac{7}{4}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write the problem

The given problem is \(3 \div \frac{12}{7}\)
02

Finding the Reciprocal of the Fraction

Reciprocal of \(\frac{12}{7}\) is \(\frac{7}{12}\)
03

Multiplying by the Reciprocal

This operation is equivalent to \(3 \times \frac{7}{12}\), which equals \(\frac{21}{12}\)
04

Reducing to Lowest Terms

The fraction \(\frac{21}{12}\) can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their common factor. The common factor of 21 and 12 is 3, and when we divide both by 3 we get \(\frac{7}{4}\)
