What is 61/48 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{61}{48}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{61}{48} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{61}{48} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Multiply the Denominators: $48 \times 3 = 144$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{61}{48} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{61}{144}$
