Answer: 3/72, but read the explanantion!

Step-by-step explanation: Since we are trying to find 1/9 of 3/8, which is division, we use the method K, C , F

KCF stands for keep, change, flip.

1/9 (keep) = 1/9

divided by (change) = multiplied by

3/8 (flip) = 8/3

You then proceed with simple multiplication.

1/9*3/8= 3/72

3/72= 4.1666......

Hope this helps!!
