Answer:

10/7 or 1 3/7

Explanation:

1. change from mixed fraction to improper fraction, 5/2 and 7/4

2. instead of the dividing the fractions as is, multiply the reciprocal which would be 5/2 multiplied by 4/7. Then you cross multiply. 2 into 2, 1 and 2 into 4, 2. So now you're left with 5 and 2/7 since 5/1 is basically 1.

3. simplify to just 10/7
