In order to divide fractions, we leave the first fraction unchanged, and then multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. A reciprocal is the original fraction turned upside down. If the second value is an integer like 3, you could think of it as 3/1 in order to help you find the reciprocal, which is 1/3. Once you have flipped the second fraction, you'll have a multiplication problem- multiply across the tops, multiply across the bottoms, and then reduce.
