Answer:

6/7

Explanation:

To divide fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping the numerator and the denominator.

So, to divide 3/5 by 7/10, you can multiply 3/5 by 10/7:

(3/5) ÷ (7/10) = (3/5) * (10/7)

Now, you can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(3/5) * (10/7) = (3 * 10) / (5 * 7) = 30/35

The fraction 30/35 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

30/35 = (30 ÷ 5) / (35 ÷ 5) = 6/7

Therefore, 3/5 divided by 7/10 is equal to 6/7.
