12 ÷ 4 = 3 Twelve divided by four equals three.
5 × 2 = 10 Five multiplied by two equals ten.
12/30 Twelve thirtieths.

Thankes a lot for your response
what I meant is how to pronounce this "/" in "12/30" with any number includes numerator and denominator.

And I want to ask , Can we pronounce "12 ÷ 4" and "5 × 2" in any another ways , or the pronouncation that you mantioned is the only one ?

Thankes again

Not a teacher,
In fact you can say "12 over 4".

You can say 'twelve over four' and 'five times two'.
