Answer:

A

Explanation:

first, you turn 3 1/2 into 3 2/4'ths and change 3 two fourth's into 14/4 fraction.

next, you change 2 one fourth into 9/4th's fraction

your equation would be 14/4 divided by 9/4th's = a times b/c

when you used divide, you get get flip one of the fractions being divided, and it could turn into 14/4 TIMES 4 over 9 = a times b/c.

wait this area down here could be wrong:

when you get your equation, multiply them together and you get 56 over 36 equals a times b/c.

A times B /C is equal to 56/36 which can simple out to 28/18 which AGAIN simpled out to 14/9

C IS 9 BECAUSE IT IS THE DENOMINATOR

and because of that, A would be the answer.
