Answer: 3

Explanation:

In order to divide fractions you must multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. So, to solve 3/4 ÷ 1/4 you will multiply 3/4 by the reciprocal of 1/4.

Your problem will now be 3/4 x 4/1. The next step is to multiply the top and bottom numbers. 3 x 4 = 12 and 4 x 1 = 4.

You now have 12/4. Finally, you simplify it and you're left with 3.
