When you divide by a fraction, that's the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of the second one.
So...
(8/1) * (4/3)

That would be B:
When you divide a fraction by a fraction (in this case, 8/1 divided by 3/4) all you have to do is multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. Thus, you have 8/1 x 4/3 = 10 2/3.

i myself would have to say d because 1/8 mean divide so you would divide 1 into 8 and that would give you 8 and you would divide 3/4 and it would give you 1.3 which the 3 keeps repeating itself so that is why i would have to say d as an answer

Any time you divide by a fraction it is the same as multiplying by the fraction's inverse so answer B is the correct answer because 4/3 is the inverse of 3/4.

Rule in the division of fractions: invert the divisor and proceed as in multiplication.
Example:
= (a/b) / (c/d)
= a/b * d/c
= ad/bc
Proof:
ad/bc * c/d = a/b
