3 1/2 divided by 3/4 = 7/2 * 4/3 = 14/3

4 2/3 divided by 7 = 14/3 * 1/7 = 2/3

first change the whole number into a fraction(i.e. 5 would change into 5/1 or five over 1) then flip the ACTUAL fraction.(i.e. if the fraction is 3/4 its reciprocal should be 4/3) this is called a reciprocal. Your equation should read 5 over 1 divided by 4/3. now that u have flipped the fraction, you can change your sign. Your problem should read 5/1 times 4/3. from there, you multiply 5 and 4 (20) and 1 and 3(3) then simplify. The answer should be 20/3 or 6 and 2/3. hope i helped!
