answer: 2.25

work:

to divide fractions, use the keep it, switch it, flip it method.

let's keep this in mind, start by taking your equation: 3/4 ÷ 1/3.

now, let's apply keep it, switch it, flip it.

3/4 ÷ 1/3 KEEP the first fraction the same

3/4 x 1/3 SWITCH the division to multiplication

3/4 x 3/1 FLIP the numbers on the second fraction

so, solve by multiplying across.

you get: 9/4.

simplify.

you get 2.25.

so 2.25 is your final answer.
