The image shows a rectangle divided into 16 equal parts. In each row, the first three parts are shaded. In the first row, the three shaded parts are further shaded using diagonal lines.
To determine the fraction used to divide 38, we need to count the number of shaded parts.
From the image, we can see that there are 3 shaded parts in each row. Since there are two rows, the total number of shaded parts is 3 + 3 = 6.
The total number of parts in the rectangle is 16.
Therefore, the fraction used to divide 38 is 6/16, which can be simplified to 3/8.
So the correct answer is:
\[Start Fraction 3 over 8 End Fraction\]
