Question

Help Me!48 divided by 3/8?

Answer 1

Answer:

128

Step-by-step explanation:

48 divided by 3/8

We divide a whole number by a fraction

$\frac{48}{\frac{3}{8} }$

When we divide a whole number by a fraction , we flip the bottom fraction and multiply with top whole number

3/8 becomes 8/3 when we flip it

$48 \cdot \frac{8}{3}$

$\frac{384}{3} =128$

So 48 divided by 3/8 is 128

Answer 2

Work out 3/8 of 48.

First of all divide 48 by the denominator:

48 ÷ 8 = 6 (this gives 1/8 of 48)

Now multiply this answer by the numerator:

6 × 3 = 18 (this gives 3/8 of 48)
