Answer:

both expression are not the same

Step-by-step explanation

Given the expressions

3 \div 3/7 and 1/3 * 3/7

For the first expression;

3 \div 3/7

= 3 * 7/3

= 3/3 * 7

= 1 * 7

= 7

Second expression

1/3 * 3/7

= 3/3 * 1/7

= 1* 1/7

= 1/7

Hence both expression are not the same. Ruth is wrong
