First make each fraction into improper

3 x 10 = 30 + 3 = 33

3 3/10 = 33/10

1 x 7 = 7 + 4 = 11

1 4/7 = 11/7

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(33/10)/(11/7)

Flip the second fraction and change the division to multiplication.

33/10 x 7/11

Simplify

33/11 = 3/1

3/10 x 7/1

Multiply straight across

3 x 7 = 21

10 x 1 = 10

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

21/10, or 2.1 is your answer

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hope this helps
