The unit rate is when 1 is in the denominator, we have to divide the numerator and denominator by the denominator in order to get 1.
346 ÷22 15.72

namely, how many times does 3/4 go into 3½? Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{7}{2}\div \cfrac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{7}{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\cdot \cfrac{\stackrel{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{3}\implies \cfrac{14}{3}\implies 4\frac{2}{3}$
