To divide fractions, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Flip the second fraction. The fraction 2/9 becomes 9/2.
Step 2: Multiply the first fraction by the flipped second fraction.
8/12 * 9/2 = (8 * 9) / (12 * 2) = 72/24.
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, both 72 and 24 can be divided by 8.
72/24 = (72 ÷ 8) / (24 ÷ 8) = 9/3.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction further if possible. In this case, both 9 and 3 can be divided by 3.
9/3 = (9 ÷ 3) / (3 ÷ 3) = 3/1 = 3.
Therefore, 8/12 divided by 2/9 equals 3
