Answer 2

The way I understand this question is: "how many of one eights (1/8) can fit into 3/4 - so mathematically we would write: 3/4 divided by 1/8. Dividing by a fraction is multiplying by its inverse, so we have 3/4 multiplied by 8, which is 3*8/4, we simplify by dividing 8 and 4 by 4: 6/1, that is 6 - the answer is 6!Hope this helps.
