3 divided 3/4
to solve you must multiply and therefore reversing 3/4 to 4/3
and now its
3 x 4/3 the threes cancel out
becoming
1x 4 = 4
4 is the solution

Okay, lets not look at it as 3. lets see it as the problem:
(3/1) / (3/4)
Now, we know that to divide any two fractions, you just multiply one side by the reciprocal, so the problem now looks like:
3/1 * 4/3
Oky doke. Looks simple right? Just multiply the Numerator and the denominator to get a fraction
12/3
Now just simplify:
4 <- Thats the answer

that would be the same as 3 times the inverse (4/3) which is then 4.
