Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 2/
3
is 3/
2
) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step, , cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 9/
1
.
In words - six divided by two thirds = nine.

Key features of Graphs
The reciprocal of 3/8 would be 8/3 (basically reversing the numbers).
When dividing fractions, you can just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of dividing by the second fraction.
3/4 ÷ 3/8
= 3/4 × 8/3
Simplifying gives us the final answer:
= 2
