OK, Here goes. When dividing by a fraction (- 1/4 in this case) invert and multiply-------so 3 / - 1/4 is the same as 3 x -4/1 or
3 x -4 or -12. Got it?

The answer is -12. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its inverse. So 3 divided by -1/4 is the same as 3 x -4.

3 divided by -1/4 is the same as 3 multiplied by -4 (therciprocal)
so 3/(-1/4)
=3*(-4)
=-12

Yes, and its -12.
Dividing by a fraction, just multiply by the reciprocal, or -4 in this case so 3*-4 = -12
