Answer: 9/16

Explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change

the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 3/8 ÷ 2/3 means the same thing as 3/8 · 3/2.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply

by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Now multiplying across the numerators and denominators, we have 9/16.

Since 9/16 is in lowest-terms, it's or final answer.
