Rewrite 3 3/4 as an improper fraction

3 3/4 = 15/4

Now you have

15/5 / 5/7

When you divide fractions, change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction over:

15/4 x 7/5

Now multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together:

( 15 x 7) / (4 x 5) = 105/20

Write as a proper fraction:

105/20 = 5 1/4
