1/3 divided 3/8

1 answer

To divide fractions, we need to follow a simple rule: invert the divisor and multiply.

In this case, we want to divide 1/3 by 3/8.

So, we need to invert the divisor, which is 3/8, to get 8/3.

Now we can multiply the dividend, 1/3, by the inverted divisor, 8/3.

(1/3) * (8/3) = (1 * 8) / (3 * 3) = 8/9

Therefore, 1/3 divided by 3/8 is equal to 8/9.
