1 Answer

7 votes

Answer:

Explanation:

To divide 3/8 by 3/4, we can invert the divisor (the second fraction) and multiply:

3/8 ÷ 3/4 = 3/8 × 4/3

We can simplify this expression by canceling out the factor of 3 in the numerator of the second fraction with the denominator of the first fraction:

3/8 × 4/3 = (3 × 4) / (8 × 3) = 12/24

Then, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (which is 12 in this case):

12/24 = 1/2

Therefore, the quotient of 3/8 and 3/4 is 1/2.
