What is 50/27 Divided By 3/8

Solving $\frac{50}{27}\div\frac{3}{8}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{50}{27} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{50}{27} \times \frac{8}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $50 \times 8 = 400$
• Multiply the Denominators: $27 \times 3 = 81$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{50}{27} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{400}{81}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{400}{81}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $400$ and $81$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{50}{27}\div\frac{3}{8} = \frac{400}{81}$
