Answer: 3/2

Explanation:

Concept:

When doing division "[a]÷[b]", [a] is the dividend, [b] is the divisor.

Solve:

(9/16) / (3/8) ⇔ Given

(9/16) × (8/3) ⇔ Convert division into multiplication by using the reciprocal

of the divisor

(9×8) / (16×3) ⇔ Numerator multiply each other/ Denominator multiply each

other

72 / 48 ⇔ Multiplication

(3×24) / (2×24) ⇔ Factorize

3 / 2 ⇔ Simplify

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
