To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. 

Here's how to solve:

\[
\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{1}
\]

Now multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[
\frac{3 \times 8}{4 \times 1} = \frac{24}{4} = 6
\]

So, \( \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{8} = 6 \).
