    5/7 ➗ 3/4

    To divide the fractions you switch the numerator and denominator in the second fraction. By doing this you make the fractions multiply instead of divide.

    So now the equation is

    5/7 ✖️ 4/3

    To get a common factor we will make the denominator of both of the fractions 21.

    So now the equation is

    15/21 ✖️ 28/21

    To multiply fractions you multiply both numerators and both denominators.

    So now the equation is

    420/441

    So to simplify the equation we divide the numerator and denominator by 21.

    So now the equation is

    20/21

    So the question must be wrong or a trick question because the answer was correct.
