Answer:

To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, 7/10 divided by 1/3 can be written as:

(7/10) ÷ (1/3) = (7/10) x (3/1)

Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:

(7 x 3) / (10 x 1) = 21/10

Therefore, the answer is 21/10, which is an improper fraction. We can simplify it to a mixed number by dividing the denominator into the numerator.

21 ÷ 10 = 2 with a remainder of 1, so the mixed number is:

= 1 1/10

Hence, the answer is 1 1/10 or 11/10.
