Answer:

16

Explanation:

If you have a 12-inch board and you are making 3/4 inch long sections, and you want to know many times you can do that here.

You just need to take 12 and divide it by the 3/4, to see how many sections you can have.

12 / (3)/(4)

Change division to multiplication by taking the reciprocal (the flipping) of the second number:

$12 \cdot (4)/(3)$

Write 12 as a fraction:

$(12)/(1)\cdot (4)/(3)$

To multiply fractions, multiply straight across on top and straight across on bottom:

((12)(4))/((1)(3))

(48)/(3)
