The answer is 3

Here, we want to divide fractions

We can do this by changing the middle division sign to multiplication

By doing this, we have to flip the fraction on the right hand side

Its numerator become the denominator and vice-versa

We have this as;


(3)/(4)*(12)/(3)\text{ = }(36)/(12)\text{ = 3}
