Answer 1

Given

$2\frac{1}{4}\div\frac{3}{8}$

To find the value.

Explanation:

It is given that,

$2\frac{1}{4}\div\frac{3}{8}$

That implies,

$\begin{gathered} 2\frac{1}{4}\div\frac{3}{8}=\frac{2\times4+1}{4}\div\frac{3}{8} \\ =\frac{8+1}{4}\div\frac{3}{8} \\ =\frac{9}{4}\div\frac{3}{8} \\ =\frac{9}{4}\times\frac{8}{3} \\ =3\times2 \\ =6 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is option B) 6.
