1/4 divided by 2/3

Answer 1

To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Here’s how to divide \( \frac{1}{4} \) by \( \frac{2}{3} \):

\[ \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{2} \]

Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[ = \frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 2} = \frac{3}{8} \]

So, \( \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{8} \).
