Answer:

13/7 or 16/7, they are the same, just different ways of writing it.

Explanation:

(6 1/2) / (3 1/2)

Convert to an improper fraction

(13/2) / (7/2)

To divide a fraction, find the reciprocal of the second fraction, and multiply it by the first:

(13/2) * (2/7)

simplfiy

(13/7)

Which is the same as:

1 6/7
