Full solution

Q. Divide. \newline38÷12=\frac{3}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}=_____
  1. Convert to multiplication: Convert the division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor.\newline38÷12\frac{3}{8} \div \frac{1}{2} is the same as 38×21\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{1}.
  2. Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and the denominators. (3×2)/(8×1)=6/8(3 \times 2) / (8 \times 1) = 6 / 8.
  3. Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction if possible.\newline68\frac{6}{8} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 22.\newline68=(6÷2)(8÷2)=34\frac{6}{8} = \frac{(6 \div 2)}{(8 \div 2)} = \frac{3}{4}.
