What is that as a fraction Dragon slayer?

Can you tell us how to do it by hand?  

You can just use the site calculator for this. It is on the 'home' page.

Do you need to know how to do it by hand?

I can tell you the answer. The answer is 0.0033333333333333. Hope it helps!

Yes Melody. I can tell you how to do it by hand. The fraction answer is 1/300.

First, you change the decimal 0.04 into 4/1,000. 

Then, you change 12 into a fraction. 12=12/1

After that, do the reciprocal for 4/1,000. 4/1,000=1,000/4

Then, you multiply 12/1 by 1,000/4.

So, the answer is 1/300. Hope it helps, Melody.

Hi Dragon Slayer,

Let's look at this

First, you change the decimal 0.04 into 4/1,000.   Wrong

Then, you change 12 into a fraction. 12=12/1       Correct

After that, do the reciprocal for 4/1,000. 4/1,000=1,000/4   No, you don't do that.

Then, you multiply 12/1 by 1,000/4.  No

So, the answer is 1/300.  Sorry but 12/1*1000/4=3000

Hope it helps, Melody.    Nope didn't help 

That is what my 5th grade teacher told me!

Question:  0.04/12

Hi Dragon Slayer,  If you are going to do it using fractions this is how it is done.

Let's look at this

    0.04 = 4/100

Then, you change 12 into a fraction. 12=12/1       Correct

It is the second one you turn upside down. To divide by 12/1 you multiply by 1/12

    $$\mathbf{\textcolor[rgb]{0,0,1}{\frac{4}{100}\times \frac{1}{12}=\frac{4}{1200}=\frac{1}{300}}}$$

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe it is easier to do it with decimals

$$\frac{0.04}{12}\\\\
=\frac{0.04\div 4}{12\div 4}\\\\
=\frac{0.01}{3}\\\\
=\frac{0.01\times 100}{3\times 100}\\\\
=\frac{1}{300}\\\\$$                $$OR\\\\
