3/8 divided by 1/16 is the same as multiplying 3/8 by 16
So you you get 3/8*16
the 16 divided by 8 reduces to 2
so you have 3*2 = 6
6 is your answer

When dividing fractions, flip the second fraction in the question and treat it as a multiplication.
3/8 divided by 1/16 = 3/8 multiplied by 16/1 = 48 / 8 = 6

invert and multiply
3/8=8/3
8/3 x 1/16
you can divide 8 into 16 = 2
3/1 X 2/1 =6/1 or 6

When you divide by a fraction, flip the second fraction and multiply.
3/8 times 16/1
The 16 and 8 reduce (cancel) to be 2 and 1
3/1 times 2/1
So it's 6/1 or just 6
