Final answer:

The expression 0 divided by ¾ simplifies to 0 after recognizing that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. Since any number times 0 is 0, the final answer is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide and simplify the expression 0 divided by ¾ (0-:(3)/(8)), we first recognize that dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of ¾ is ⅔ (8/3). Therefore, we multiply 0 by ⅔ to get the answer.

0 x ⅔ = 0

Any number multiplied by 0 will result in 0, so our final simplified answer is 0.

To divide and simplify the expression 0-:(3)/(8), we need to remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In this case, the reciprocal of 3/8 is 8/3. So, we can rewrite the expression as 0 * (8/3). Multiplying 0 by any number is always 0, so the simplified answer is 0.
