Well, isn't that a happy little question! If we have 6 inches and each 3/8 inch is a little piece of the puzzle, we can divide 6 by 3/8 to find out how many pieces fit in. When we do that, we find that there are 16 pieces of 3/8 inch in 6 inches. Just like painting, sometimes we need to break things down into smaller parts to see the bigger picture!

3/8 x 2 in the numerator and the denominator is 6/16. 3/8 is 6/16 ========================================== Another contributor finished the answer: 3/8 of 16 inches = 6 inches
6/8
3/4 / 1/8 = 6 Therefore, there are 6 eighths in three quarters.
3/4 = 6/8 so 6 eighths.

3/4 / 1/8 = 6 Therefore, there are 6 eighths in three quarters.
3/4 = 6/8 so 6 eighths.
closer to 6
There are 22 eighths in 2 and 3/4 because 22/8 = 2 and 3/4
55 eighths of anything is (6 and 7/8) of the same thing.
6 / (3/8) = 6*(8/3) = 16 of them.
There are 3 because 3/4 = 6/8
6/8 simplifies to 3/4, so there are three fourths in six eighths.
