When dividing fractions these are the steps you will take:
1. The first number in the expression stays the same. If it is a whole number then you may just place a one in the denominator and keep the numerator as the whole number like so:
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
2. Change the division sign into a multiplication sign
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
3. Take the reciprocal (switch the places of numerator and denominator) of the second number in the expression
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
4. Multiply across
[tex]\frac{3*4}{1*3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{12}{3}[/tex]
^^^This can be further simplified:
4
