Answer:
(7)/(2) or 3
(1)/(2)

Explanation:

Sure, here's the step-by-step explanation:

1. First, we multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number. In this case, we multiply 7 (the numerator of 7/8) by 4. This gives us 28.

2. The denominator of the fraction remains the same, which is 8. So now we have a new fraction, 28/8.

3. Finally, we simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, that's 8. So, 28 divided by 8 is 3 remainder 2, and 8 divided by 8 is 1.

So,


(7)/(8) x 4 = (28)/(8) = (7)/(2) = 3(1)/(2)
