Answer:

8/9

Explanation:

Divide

1/3 ÷ 3/8

=

1/3 × 8/3

= ( 1 × 8 ) over ( 3 × 3 )

=
(1*8)/(3*3)

= 8/9

To divide fractions, turn the second one upside down (the numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator), then multiply the numerators and denominators.

Hope this helps!
