What is the result of 3/4 divided by 2/3?

  1. 7/12

  2. 9/8

  3. 6/5

  4. 5/2

The correct answer is: 6/5

When dividing fractions, we can multiply the reciprocal of the second fraction. For this problem, it would be 2/3 multiplied by 3/2. This gives us a result of 1. This means that 1/1 is equivalent to 3/4 divided by 2/3. Then, we can simplify the fraction 3/4 to 6/8. So, the final result is 6/5. This shows that option A, 7/12, and option B, 9/8, are incorrect. Option D, 5/2, is also incorrect as it is the result of multiplying the fractions instead of dividing.
