When dividing fractions these are the steps you will take:

1. The first number in the expression stays the same. If it is a whole number then you may just place a one in the denominator and keep the numerator as the whole number like so:


(3)/(1) ÷
(3)/(4)

2. Change the division sign into a multiplication sign


(3)/(1) ×
(3)/(4)

3. Take the reciprocal (switch the places of numerator and denominator) of the second number in the expression


(3)/(1) ×
(4)/(3)

4. Multiply across


(3*4)/(1*3)


(12)/(3)

^^^This can be further simplified:

4

Hope this helped!
