Step-by-step explanation:
48 divided by 3/8
We divide a whole number by a fraction

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
