#9/4#

We have

#(3/8)/(1/6)#

To divide fractions we can use the following:

#(a/b)/(c/d)=a/bxxd/c#

So we can rearrange the problem and rewrite it as

#3/8xx6/1#

To solve, we multiply across

#(3xx8)/(6xx1)=18/8#

We can simplify this, since both #18# and #8# are divisible by #2#

#(18divide2)/(8divide2)=9/4#
