Answer: 8/49

Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 4/7 ÷ 7/2 means the same thing as 4/7 · 2/7.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply by the

reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Now multiply across the numerators

and denominators to get 8/49.

Since 8/49 is in lowest terms, it's our final answer.
