Given the numerical statement:

⅓ divide by 12

Solution:

The given numerical statement can be written as,

⅓ / 12

In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is ⅓, and it is divided by 12 which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.

= ⅓ /12

= 0.02777…

Since we have a repeating answer, we can either designate it by using a repeating word enclose with a parenthesis, a dash line or ellipsis. In our case, we will put the ellipsis.

Final answer:

= 0.02777…
