First, you would need to create an equation for this problem.
3
(1)/(2) ÷
(1)/(4)

Next, you would flip the second fraction and change it to multiplication.
3
(1)/(2) ×
(4)/(1)

Now, you would change the first fraction into an improper fraction and cross simplify the equation.

(7)/(2) ×
(4)/(1)

(7)/(1) ×
(2)/(1)

Finally, you would solve it.

(7)/(1) ×
(2)/(1) =
(14)/(1) = 14

3
(1)/(2) ÷
(1)/(4) = 14

I hope this helps!
