What is 38/17 Divided By 3/8

Solving $\frac{38}{17}\div\frac{3}{8}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{38}{17} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{38}{17} \times \frac{8}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $38 \times 8 = 304$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 3 = 51$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{38}{17} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{304}{51}$
