Question

3 over 8 divided by 3 over 4

Answer 1

3/8 ÷ 3/4

- First, you have to keep the first fraction.

- Second, flip the division sign. (That means make it a multiplication sign)

- Third, change 3/4 into 4/3.

- Then, multiply across.

- Lastly, simplify.

3/8 ÷ 3/4

= 3/8 x 3/4

= 3/8 x 4/3

= 12/24

= 1/2

So, 3/8 ÷ 3/4 = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: We can set up this problem in steps using the Keep, Change, Solve method of multiplication.

1. Keep

Our expression is 3/8 ÷ 3/4. We keep the 3/8 since it's the first fraction.

2. Change

Since 3/4 is the second fraction, we can reciprocate it to 4/3.

3. Solve

Now that we have our new fractions, we can multiply accordingly.

3/8 × 4/3 = 12/24; however, this can be reduced to 1/2.

Hence, 3/8 ÷ 3/4 gives us 1/2.
