The answer is:  [B]:  7/9 .

Explanation:

Method 1:

7/12 ÷ 3/4 = 7/12  * 4/3 ;  The "4" cancels to a "1";
and the "12" cancels to a "3";
(since "12÷4 =3"; and "4÷4 =1" ;

7/12 * 4/3 =  7/3 * 1/3 = 7/9 ; which is:  Answer choice: [B].

Method 2:

7/12 ÷ 3/4 = 7/12  * 4/3  = (7*4) / (12*3) = 28/36; which can be reduced by dividing EACH side by "4":

28/36 = (28÷4) / (36÷4) = 7/9 ; which is:  Answer choice: [B].

Here we're dividing a fraction (5/8) by another fraction. We could obtain the same result by inverting the divisor (2/5) and then multiplying (5/8) by (5/2).

The product is 25/16.

Thus, 2/5 divides into 5/8 25/16 times, or 1 9/16 times.
