What is 3/8 divided by 9/16? Please explain and show work.

Sagot :

To divide a fraction by a fraction you multiply by the reciprocal. That means that you turn the second fraction upside-down, and multiply.
So if you have 3/8 divided by 9/16, you will end up with
3/8 * 16/9
So now you can simplify diagonally, and it becomes 1/1 * 2/3, which is the same as 1 * 2/3.  The next step would be just to multiply fractions like normal, but since we know that any number times 1 is the number, the answer is 2/3
ANSWER: 2/3
