Simple. If Length times Width = Area, Area divided by length = width.

First, multiply everything by a common multiple, as multiplying/dividing with fractions isn't fun. I'll multiply by 63, the least common multiple of 7 and 9.

35 divided by 9 = 3.88 (the 8 infinitely repeats, so you may want to round to 3.89.)
