Fraction Division (3/4 ÷ 1/8)

3/4 ÷ 1/8

First, understand the question. 3/4 ÷ 1/8 is another way of saying how many groups of 1/8 are in 3/4.
Second, start solving it. You should start by finding the reciprocal of 1/8 which is 8/1. Remember, you are finding the reciprocal of 1/8 because it is the divisor. When dividing fractions, you always find the reciprocal of the divisor. The answer is 24/4
Finally, simplify your answer.  24/4 = 6.
