What is 4 divided by 1 1/3?

Step by step

1. Write each number as a fraction
   4 = 4/1
   1 1/3 = (1 × 3 + 1)/3 = 4/3
2. Keep, change, flip
   Keep the first fraction, change ÷ to ×, and flip the second fraction upside down:
   4/1 ÷ 4/3 = 4/1 × 3/4
3. Multiply the tops, then the bottoms
   (4 × 3)/(1 × 4) = 12/4
4. Simplify
   Divide the top and bottom by 4: 12/4 = 3
