Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.

Since the reciprocal of 3 is $\frac{1}{3}$ , then $\frac{1}{4} \div 3 = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}$ .
To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.

Therefore $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 1}{4 \times 3} s o \frac{1}{4} \div 3 = \frac{1}{12}$
