3/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{21}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So to start, you need to make 3 $\frac{3}{4\\}$ into an improper fraction, which will give you $\frac{15}{4}$. Then to make it easier, instead of dividing it by $\frac{5}{7}$, multiply it by the reciprocal ( $\frac{7}{5}$ )

Your new expression should look like this:

    $\frac{15}{4}$ x $\frac{7}{5}$

To make it even easier, you can simplify this expression even further. Looking at the numerators and denominators, we see that we have a 15 on top and a 5 on the bottom. Cross out the 5 and put a 1 in its place since 5 goes into 5 one time! Now we have to do it to the 15... Cross out the 15 and put a 3 since 5 goes into 15 three times!

Your simplified expression should look like this:

    $\frac{3}{4}$ x $\frac{7}{1}$

Now, just multiply the numerators and the denominators to get your final answer of

    $\frac{21}{4}$

Since you cannot simplify this anymore, that is your answer!!!
