The correct answer is: $\frac{3}{8}$

Explanation

You divide by 2 by multiplying by its reciprocal (which is $\frac{1}{2}$). Then multiply numerators and denominators and simplify if possible.

Steps:

  1. Write division as multiplication by the reciprocal: $$\frac{3}{4}\div2=\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{2}$$
  2. Multiply numerators and denominators: $$\frac{3\times1}{4\times2}=\frac{3}{8}$$
  3. The fraction is already in simplest form: $$\frac{3}{8}$$

Therefore, $\frac{3}{4}$ divided by $2$ equals $\frac{3}{8}$.
