Draw a model to represent 3/4 divided by 3/12

The answer you are looking for is 1/3.

First, you must look at the denominators of each fraction, to see if you can simply divide straight across. In this case, you cannot, which means you must multiply by the reciprocal or "flipped" number. Generally when you multiply by the reciprocal, you flip the number with the smaller denominator to multiply.

So, you have 4/3 * 3/12. You then multiply straight across (4 * 3)/(3 * 12), to get an answer of 12/36, which simplified (divided by 3/3) gives you a final answer of 1/3.

I hope this helps!
