Answer

We have:

=12112÷536=14512÷536[Converting mixed to improper fraction]=14512×365[Reciprocal of 536 is 365]=2912×361[Simplifying 145 and 5 ⇒ Divide by 5]=291×31[Simplifying 36 and 12 ⇒ Divide by 12]=29×31×1=871=87\begin{array}{ll} \phantom{=} 12\dfrac{1}{12} ÷ \dfrac{5}{36} \\ = \dfrac{145}{12} ÷ \dfrac{5}{36} & \text{[Converting mixed to improper fraction]} \\ = \dfrac{145}{12} \times \dfrac{36}{5} & [\text{Reciprocal of } \dfrac{5}{36} \text{ is } \dfrac{36}{5}] \\ = \dfrac{29}{12} \times \dfrac{36}{1} & \text{[Simplifying 145 and 5 ⇒ Divide by 5]} \\ = \dfrac{29}{1} \times \dfrac{3}{1} & \text{[Simplifying 36 and 12 ⇒ Divide by 12]} \\ = \dfrac{29 \times 3}{1 \times 1} \\ = \dfrac{87}{1} \\ = 87 \end{array}

∴ The answer is 87
