In order to do this equation, I will be switching the numbers to decimals and then back to provide an answer using fractions.

3 1/2 converted to decimal form is 3.5. In order to find 3/7's value, we need to divide 3 by 7, which is ~.43 (I rounded up).

Now our equation is 3.5÷.43.

This equation would be best used on a calculator, and we have our final answer now.

Answer (rounded to the nearest hundredth): ~8.14

The ~ or tilde means "about"

Now, to convert it to fractions:

8 14/100.

Now, we use greatest common factor to simplify it the most we can

Answer: 8 7/50

NOTE: I ROUNDED SO THERE MIGHT BE A SMALL DIFFERENCE
