Answer:


4(1)/(2)

Explanation:

To make the division easier, we will convert them to improper fraction first.


12 (3)/(8) / 2 (3)/(4) \\ = (99)/(8) / (11)/(4)

Now we will change the sign to multiply and swap the numerator and denominator of the divisor fraction.


(99)/(8) / (11)/(4) \\ = (99)/(8) * (4)/(11) \\ = (396)/(88) \\ = (9)/(2) = 4 (1)/(2)
