By applying the inverse property
[tex]\frac{5}{12} \; times \; \frac{12}{5} =1[/tex]
Given :
5/12 times blank equals 1
We need to find [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] times what number gives us 1
We apply inverse property of multiplication
[tex]\frac{x}{y} \cdot \frac{y}{x} =1[/tex]
Inverse of [tex]\frac{x}{y} \; is \; \frac{y}{x}[/tex]
We apply this property and take inverse of the given fraction
Inverse of [tex]\frac{5}{12} \; is \; \frac{12}{5}[/tex]
So , [tex]\frac{5}{12} \; times \; \frac{12}{5} =1[/tex]
