    Solve the equation.

    3/8s = 9

    Divide 3/8 to both sides:

    s = 9 / 3/8

    Or multiply by its reciprocal, 8/3.

    s = 9 * 8/3

    s = 72/3

    s = 24

    We have the equation 3/8s = 9, and we need to divide 9 by 3/8, and the way to do that is to multiply by the reciprocal, which is 8/3. That gives you 72/3, and when you divide that, you get 24, so that is your answer.
