Answer 1

Unfortunately, your question ended up in the "Languages" category. Check the "suggested category" box before posting, and select a category manually if necessary.

Answer 2

y = (7/12) div.by (3/8)

   = (7/12) x (8/3)

   = (7/3) x (2/3)   (divided a 4 out of the 12 and the 8)

   = 14/9     (multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators)

so y = 14/9  or 1 5/9.

You posted in the wrong category though; this is the language section, not the mathematics section
