Answer: 0.457

multiply 3 by 7, and get 21

multiply 1 by 5, and get 5.

5 × 7 = 35.

fraction: 21/35 and 5/35

Subtract the numerators

21 − 5 = 16 = 16/35

Now we need to simplify the fraction that we have.

17 is larger than 16. So we're done reducing numbers.

Our final answer:
16/35

Hope this helps!

I am joyous to assist anytime.
