Write 4 as a fraction.

(3/6) / (4/1)

To divide by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal.

(3/6) × (1/4)

Reduce:

Multiply:

1/8

Answer 2

1/8

Explanation:

so to solve a complex fraction, you divide the first two numbers, 3/6, which gives you 1/2. then, you divide 1/2 and 4 (by whichever method you want to use), and you get 1/8.
