Well, you can’t really divide a fraction because it is already a division problem. So we have to do the opposite.

9/4 divided by3/16

Leave the first fraction alone

Change the division sign into a multiplication sign.

Then switch the denominator and numerator of the second fraction, this new fraction is called a reciprocal.

Now multiply the numerators together and the denominators together and simplify.

You get: 144/12

Simplified the answer is : 12
