3/48 is what part of 1/12

Question

asnaseer · Answer

suppose the question was:
3 is what part of 12?

how would you work out the answer?

anonymous · Answer

3 is 4th part of of 12 now?

asnaseer · Answer

correct - so you divided 3 by 12 to get:$$3\div12=\frac{1}{4}$$to say that 3 is a quarter of 12.
Use the same principal for your question.

asnaseer · Answer

do you understand?

anonymous · Answer

not compltly
can you explain
please

asnaseer · Answer

ok, lets look at another example - 5 is what part of 10?
to find out, we just divided 5 by 10 to get:$$5\div10=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$$so we can say 5 is half of 10.

asnaseer · Answer

does that make sense?

anonymous · Answer

can you give me example of any fraction question/

asnaseer · Answer

ok, lets do: 1/4 is what part of 1/2?
again to find out we just divide as follows:$$\frac{1}{4}\div\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{2}{1}=\frac{1}{2}$$so we can say 1/4 is a half of 1/2

anonymous · Answer

it means 
3/48 ÷ 1/12 = 3/48 × 12/1 = 1
