To solve \( \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{20} \), follow these steps:

1. Division of fractions is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. So, instead of dividing by \( \frac{3}{20} \), you multiply by its reciprocal \( \frac{20}{3} \).
   
   \[
   \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{20} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{20}{3}
   \]

2. Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

   \[
   \frac{3 \times 20}{4 \times 3} = \frac{60}{12}
   \]

3. Simplify the fraction:

   \[
   \frac{60}{12} = 5
   \]

So, \( \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{20} = 5 \).
