Work out 3/8 of 48.

First of all divide 48 by the denominator:

48 ÷ 8 = 6 (this gives 1/8 of 48)

Now multiply this answer by the numerator:

6 × 3 = 18 (this gives 3/8 of 48)

Answer:

128

Step-by-step explanation:

48 divided by 3/8

We divide a whole number by a fraction

\(\frac{48}{\frac{3}{8} }\)

When we divide a whole number by a fraction , we flip the bottom fraction and multiply with top whole number

3/8 becomes 8/3 when we flip it

\(48 \cdot \frac{8}{3}\)

\(\frac{384}{3} =128\)

So 48 divided by 3/8 is 128
