Pick a b c or d What is the value of the expression shown?

one twelfth ÷ 8
A. the fraction twelve eighths, because the equation twelve eighths times eight twelfths is equal to one
B. he fraction twelve eighths, because the equation twelve eighths divided by twelve eighths is equal to one
C. the fraction one ninety sixth, because the equation one ninety sixth divided by eight is equal to one twelfth
D. the fraction one ninety sixth, because the equation one ninety sixth times eight is equal to one twelfth

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide fractions, it's the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor. In this case, 8 is the divisor, so its reciprocal is 1/8 and 1/12 ÷ 8 is the same as 1/12 * 1/8 = 1/96.

Since the answer is 1/96, eliminate A and B. Now, look at C and D. The difference between them is that C says 1/96 ÷ 8 = 1/12 while D says 1/96 * 8 = 1/12. Which one is correct? Well, in C, 1/96 ÷ 8 = 1/96 * 1/8 = 1/768, which is definitely not 1/12. So, D is the answer.

Hope this helps!

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
