Answer: The expression 3/4÷ 1/12 has the highest value

Step-by-step explanation: We examine the value of all the 4 terms and compare them.

3/4÷1/3=(3/4)*3=9/4

1 7/8÷ 1/2=(17/8)*(2)=17/4

3/4÷ 1/12=(3/4)*(12)=9

7/8÷1/3=(7/8)*3=(21/8)

Taking all the denominators as 8 we get

18/8 34/8 72/8 21/8

So clearly the 3rd expression is the largest one
