Answer

\dfrac{1}{16}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Rewrite division as multiplication by the reciprocal.
$\frac{3}{16} \div 3 = \frac{3}{16} \times \frac{1}{3}$
Multiply numerators together and denominators together.
$\frac{3 \times 1}{16 \times 3} = \frac{3}{48}$
Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 3.
$\frac{3 \div 3}{48 \div 3} = \frac{1}{16}$
$\boxed{\dfrac{1}{16}}$
