Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

3 1/3 = 10/3

1 1/4 = 5/4

Remember when dividing by a fraction you can also multiply by its reciprocal meaning flip the numerator and denominator.

so

(3 1/3) / (1 1/4) = (10/3) / (5/4) = (10/3) x (4/5) which is the same as (3/10) x (5/4)

= (3 x 5) / (10 x 4) = 15 / 40

the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 5 so divide the numerator and denominator by 5

15 / 40 = 3/8
