Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (12j22j)÷8j=(12j22j)×(8j1).
Simplify by multiplying: Simplify the expression by multiplying the numerators and the denominators. So, (12j22j)×(8j1)=(12j2×8j2j×1).
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication in the numerator and the denominator. So, (2j×1)/(12j2×8j)=2j/(96j3).
Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction by canceling out common factors. The j in the numerator and one j in the denominator cancel out, and 962 can be reduced to 481. So, 96j32j=48j21.
Check for further simplification: Check for any further simplification. Since there are no common factors left and the variables are simplified, the expression is in its simplest form.
