you would need to write 5 1/4 as a mixed fraction and then divide, so the problem would be set up as 21/4*3/4 which is equal to 7

Well... 5 1/4 can also be written as 21/4 (there are 4 quarters in 1 so it is 5x4 plus the numerator over the denominator) Then you divide 21 by 3 and it is 7.

Hope this helps :)
