This passage illustrates how to solve a fractional division problem, taking '3 divided by 12/1' as an example. It elucidates every individual element of the problem, such as the dividend being 3, and the divisor being a fraction - 12/1. The step-by-step procedure involves multiplication of the dividend by the denominator of the divisor, followed by setting the numerator as the denominator of the result, hence arriving at the final answer, both in fractional and decimal forms: 1/4 and 0.25, respectively. Practice problems are also provided for further understanding.
In LaTeX format, the solution is presented as following:
\[ \frac{3 \cdot 1}{12} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} \]
Thus, 3 divided by 12/1 equals to 0.25 in decimal and 1/4 in fractional form.
