To divide 6 by the fraction \( \frac{3}{8} \), you can multiply 6 by the reciprocal of \( \frac{3}{8} \).
The reciprocal of \( \frac{3}{8} \) is \( \frac{8}{3} \).
So, the calculation is:
\[
6 \div \frac{3}{8} = 6 \times \frac{8}{3}
\]
Now, calculate:
\[
6 \times \frac{8}{3} = \frac{6 \times 8}{3} = \frac{48}{3} = 16
\]
Thus, the result of \( 6 \div \frac{3}{8} \) is **16**.
The reciprocal of \( \frac{3}{8} \) is \( \frac{8}{3} \).
So, the calculation is:
\[
6 \div \frac{3}{8} = 6 \times \frac{8}{3}
\]
Now, calculate:
\[
6 \times \frac{8}{3} = \frac{6 \times 8}{3} = \frac{48}{3} = 16
\]
Thus, the result of \( 6 \div \frac{3}{8} \) is **16**.
