Question

9/8 divide by 3/16

Answer 1

(9/8)/(3/16)

When you divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal...

So this is
9 16
--- x --
8 3

Cross cancel and then multiply.

Answer 2

3/8 ??

Answer 3

Not quite...here's what you get after the cross cancel:
3 2
--- x--- = 6
1 1

Answer 4

8/3

Answer 5

The 3 cancels with the 9 leaving 3 on top. And the 8 cancels with the 16 leaving 2 on top.

Make sense?

Answer 6

So you're left with 3 x 2 = 6 since the numbers on the bottom cancelled out (with things on top).
