Answer:
(1/4)/(2/3) = 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/4)/(2/3) = 3/8
__
This can be confirmed by a couple of different methods of dividing fractions.
1) express using a common denominator and take the ratio of numerators.
(1/4)/(2/3) = (3/12)/(8/12) = 3/8

2) invert the denominator and multiply
(1/4)/(2/3) = (1/4)(3/2) = (1·3)/(4·2) = 3/8
