Answer:

3/2

Explanation:

● (-3/8) ÷(-1/4)

Flip the second fraction by putting 1 instead 4 and vice versa.

● (-3/8)* (-4/1)

-4 over 1 is -4 since dividing by 1 gives the same number.

● (-3/8)*(-4)

Eliminate the - signs in both fractions since multiplying two negative numbers by each other gives a positive number.

●( 3/8)*4

● (3*4/8)

8 is 2 times 4

● (3*4)/(4*2)

Simplify by eliminating 4 in the fraction.

● 3/2

The result is 3/2
