Here's something to keep in mind: Keep, Change, flip.

Keep 3/8. Change the division sign to multiplcation. And flip 7/16 around. Like this:

3/8 x 16/7 Now it's easyer. Just multiply across.

3 x 16 = 48

8 x 7 =56

= 48/56

3/8 divided by 7/16 = 48/56

Hope this helps!!-Aparri (Keep being smart.) Thanks!

we are given


((3)/(8))/((7)/(16))

we can use formula


((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a*d)/(b*c)


(3*16)/(8*7)}

now, we can simplify it

and we get


(3*2)/(1*7)}


(6)/(7)}..............Answer
