To solve \( 3 \frac{3}{4} \div 8 \), let's convert the mixed number \( 3 \frac{3}{4} \) into an improper fraction.

1. Convert \( 3 \frac{3}{4} \):
   \[
   3 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 \times 3 + 3}{4} = \frac{12 + 3}{4} = \frac{15}{4}
   \]

2. Now, divide \( \frac{15}{4} \) by 8. Dividing by a whole number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so:
   \[
   \frac{15}{4} \div 8 = \frac{15}{4} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{15}{32}
   \]

So, \( 3 \frac{3}{4} \div 8 = \frac{15}{32} \).
