Answer 64/25
12/5 divided by 3/4+3/16. First solve for the denominator
3/4+3/16=15/16
Then, divide 12/5 by the reciprocal of 15/16 which is 16/15
which gives you 64/25

(12/5) ÷ (3/4 + 3/16)
= (12/5) ÷ (12/16 + 3/16)
= (12/5) ÷ (15/16)
= 12/5 * 16/15
= 64 / 25 (after cancelling the common factor of 3 in numerator and denominator)
If you want to convert this to a mixed number, it comes out to
2+14/25

12/5 / 15/16

12 * 16/5*15
