Compute 1/16 ÷1/3 simplify the answer if possible

Answer 1

To divide fractions, we can invert the second fraction and multiply it with the first fraction.

So, 1/16 ÷ 1/3 = 1/16 × 3/1.

Multiplying the numerators and denominators, 1 × 3 = 3 and 16 × 1 = 16.

Therefore, 1/16 ÷ 1/3 simplifies to 3/16.
