Answer:

98

Step-by-step explanation:

First to do this you must turn 12 and 1/4 into an improper fraction. 12 and 1/4 as an improper fraction is 49/4, as their are 49 1/4s in 12 and 1/4.

Now to divide 49/4 by 1/8, you keep 49/4, turn the division sign into a multiplication sign, and turn 1/8 into 8/1 (flip numerator and denominator)

This turns 49/4÷1/8 into 49/4×8/1. Now to multiply you get 49 × 8 as the numerator and 4 × 1 as the denominator. This ends up being 392/4. You then can simplify by dividing both numbers by 4, and get 98/1 or 98.

Answer: 98

Step-by-step explanation: To divide 12 and 1/4 by 1/8, first write 12 and 1/4 as the improper fraction 49/4.

So we have 49/4 ÷ 1/8.

Now, since dividing by a fraction means the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction, we can rewrite 49/4 ÷ 1/8 as 49/4 × 8/1.

Before multiplying however, always try to cross-cancel.

In this problem, the 4 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 2.

So we have 49/1 × 2/1 which is 98/1 or 98.
