To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
= Start Fraction 1 over 16 End Fraction × Start Fraction 3 over 1 End Fraction
= Start Fraction 1 times 3 over 16 times 1 End Fraction
= Start Fraction 3 over 16 End Fraction.
Therefore, the simplified answer is 3/16.
