WHAT IS 3/8 DIVIDED BY 1/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
serious [3.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the divison sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So here, 3/8 divided by 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/8 × 2/1.

Now we are simply multiplying fractions so we multiply across the numerators and we multiply across the denominators.

So we have 3 × 2 which is 6 and 8 × 1 which is 8. Since 6/8 is not in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 which is 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 3/4.

Therefore, 3/8 divided by 1/2 is 3/4.

1.0995116e+12 greater than -4.7223665e+21
