Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

First, format your equation so that you have a clear step-by-step solving method.

-> (3/8) / (6/1)

Next, when you divide by a whole number, you have to multiply by the reciprocal of that number, to get your final answer.

-> (3/8) x (1/6)

After that, you can cross simplify to get more of a efficient answer by reducing the 3 and 6 on both sides, making it a 1 and 2

Finally, you would get the answer 1/16.
