3/11 ÷ 9/8

Recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 3/11 ÷ 9/8 =3/11*8/9 When we multiply fractions, we need to remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators. Let's find the given product!
