4 is also written as
(4)/(1). to divide by a fraction flip it upside down! 3 fourths,
(3)/(4) becomes
(4)/(3).

now multiply those two fractions.

(4)/(1) multiplied by
(4)/(3) is just multiplying the two top numbers and the two bottom numbers.
4 times 4 is 16.
1 times 3 is 3.
the answer is
(16)/(3), or 5
(1)/(3).

4 divided by 3/4 is equivalent to 4 times 4/3 which is equal to 16/3 or 5 1/3
