Hello There!

So we divide fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal.

So let’s change 6/7 divided by 3/8 to 6/7 multiplied by 8/3.

Once we do that, we can start our multiplication.

Once we multiply, we get 48/21

We can both divide these by 3 to simplify it so once we divide we will get

16/7

This can be turned in a mix number and it would be 2 and 2/7
