Answer:


(8)/(9)

Explanation:

perform the indicated operation 1/3 divide 3/8

divide the fraction 1/3 and 3/8

When we divide the fractions, we flip the second fraction and multiply with first fraction.


((1)/(3) )/((3)/(8) )

When we flip 3/8 it becomes 8/3


(1)/(3) \cdot (8)/(3)

Multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator

1 times 8 is 8

3 times 3 is 9

So final answer is
(8)/(9)
