Product= multiplication
s= a number
is= equal sign

3/4s= 3/5
divide both sides by 3/4

s= (3/5) / (3/4)
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 3/4

s= 3/5 * 4/3
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

s= (3*4)/(5*3)
multiply within parentheses

s= 12/15
simplify by 3

s= 4/5


ANSWER: 4/5

Hope this helps! :)
