Explain the steps you would take to find the quotient of 1/3 divided 4/3

1/4

Step-by-step explanation: Here, we have 1/3 ÷ 4/3.

Dividing by a fraction is the same

as multiplying by its reciprocal.

In other words, we can change the division sign

to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So here, 1/3 ÷ 4/3 can be rewritten as 1/3 × 3/4.

Now we're simply multiplying fractions.

Before multiplying however, always try to cross-cancel.

Notice that we can cross-cancel 3 and 3 to 1 and 1.

So we now have 1/1 × 1/4.

Multiplying across the numerators

and denominators, we have 1/4.
