Answer: 7/24

Step-by-step explanation: Think of the 2 as 2/1.

When dividing by a fraction, we can simply change, we can simply change the multiplication sig to division and take the reciprocal of the second fraction or flip the second fraction.

So our problem can be rewritten as
((7)/(12))
x
((1)/(2)).

Now multiplying across the top and bottom we get 7/24.
