Answer 2

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
