You're welcome.
To divide fractions, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Flip the second fraction. Instead of dividing by a fraction, it is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. So, flip the second fraction, which gives you 8/3.
Step 2: Multiply the two fractions. Multiply the numerators together, and then multiply the denominators together. This will give you a new fraction.
So, applying these steps to your example:
1/4 ÷ 3/8
Step 1: Flip the second fraction:
1/4 × 8/3
Step 2: Multiply the two fractions:
(1 × 8) / (4 × 3) = 8/12
Now, simplify the fraction if possible by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator.
In this case, the GCD of 8 and 12 is 4. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4:
(8 ÷ 4) / (12 ÷ 4) = 2/3
Therefore, 1/4 ÷ 3/8 equals 2/3.
