Answer:

5/21

Explanation:

Here is a strategy I want you to remember: Keep, Change, Flip. What do I mean by that? Well...

Keep the first fraction. Change the division sign into a multiplication sign. Make the numerator of the second fraction become the denominator--and make the denominator of the second fraction become the numerator.

The denominator of any whole number is always 1. So, 7 equals to 7/1. Time to find the reciprocal of 7/1! What does reciprocal mean?

Reciprocal - Flip the fraction in terms of the numerator and denominator; Multiplicative Inverse

1/7 is the reciprocal of 7/1, for this mathematical problem. Makes sense, right?

Now, 5 times 1 equals 5 (that is the numerator). Secondly, 3 times 7 equals 21 (that is the denominator).


(5)/(3) * (1)/(7) = (5)/(21)
