Answer:

(1/4)/(2/3) = 3/8

Explanation:

(1/4)/(2/3) = 3/8

__

This can be confirmed by a couple of different methods of dividing fractions.

1) express using a common denominator and take the ratio of numerators.

(1/4)/(2/3) = (3/12)/(8/12) = 3/8

__

2) invert the denominator and multiply

(1/4)/(2/3) = (1/4)(3/2) = (1·3)/(4·2) = 3/8
