Answer:

12/7 or ~1.71 if rounded to two decimal places

Explanation:

To divide 4/7 by 1/3, you can multiply 4/7 by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1 (or simply 3).

So, (4/7) ÷ (1/3) = (4/7) x (3/1)

To simplify the multiplication, you can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

= (4 x 3) / (7 x 1)

= 12/7

Therefore, 4/7 divided by 1/3 is equal to 12/7 or approximately 1.71 when rounded to two decimal places.
