Answer 2

3/4 divided by 3/8 equals 2

Explanation:

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

34×83=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

3×84×3=2412

Since 24 divided by 12 equals 2
