Some people may not find questions like this easy. You're supposed to work with them so they know how to do questions like these on their own afterword.

quickstudent · Answer

You are right there, @secretx_x, but I really don't know how to explain this.

secretx_x · Answer

You would do 
$$12\div12$$

Oh, okay, now I get it. It seems like once you know something, it is hard to explain something that is easy. That is what happens to many smart people. Many college students would have a very hard time teaching their little brother to read. Real intelligence is when you are able to understand the hard subjects, and at the same time be patient enough to teach the easy subjects.
