Answer:


(3)/(8) can go into
3(3)/(4) exactly 10 times.

Explanation:

  1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
    3(3)/(4)=(15)/(4) (found by multiplying the denominator by the coefficient and adding the numerator)
  2. Divide (multiply by the reciprocal):
    (15)/(4)*(8)/(3)=(120)/(12)
  3. Simplify:
    (120)/(12)=10
  4. Done!

Hope this helps!

(3 (3)/(4) )/( (3)/(8) ) = ( (12 + 3)/(4) )/( (3)/(8) ) = ( (15)/(4) )/( (3)/(8) ) = ( (15 * 2)/(4 * 2) )/( (3)/(8) ) = \\


( (30)/(8) )/( (3)/(8) ) = (30)/(8) / (3)/(8) = (30)/(8) * (8)/(3) = (30)/(3) = \\


10

Thus there are (( 10 )) 3/8 in 3 3/4 .
