UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Write the division as multiplication by the reciprocal:
   $$
   \frac{7}{12} \div \frac{5}{9} = \frac{7}{12} \times \frac{9}{5}
   $$

2. Multiply the fractions:
   $$
   \frac{7}{12} \times \frac{9}{5} = \frac{7 \times 9}{12 \times 5} = \frac{63}{60}
   $$

3. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is $$3$$:
   $$
   \frac{63 \div 3}{60 \div 3} = \frac{21}{20}
   $$

$$\frac{21}{20}$$
$$\frac{21}{20}$$
