Hello!

Explanation:

First, you convert by the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

[tex]3\frac{1}{2}= \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Then, apply by the fraction rule.

[tex]\frac{a}{b}/\frac{c}{d}= \frac{a}{b}* \frac{d}{c}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{7}{2}* \frac{2}{1}[/tex]

Next, you had to cancel by the 2.

[tex]\frac{7}{1}[/tex]

Finally, divide by the numbers or multiply by the numbers too.

[tex]\frac{7}{1}=7[/tex]

Answer: [tex]\boxed{=7}[/tex]

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
