Is it (3/7)d or 3 divided by 7d?

If the latter, multiply both sides by d

3/7 = (5/4)d

Multiply both sides by 4/5.

d = 3/7 * 4/5 = 12/35

If the former,

Multiply both sides by 7/3

d = 7/3 * 5/4 = ?
It might seem as a division sign but it was meant as a fraction
is the answer 5/6
@PsyDAG
5/6 is a fraction. And the symbol / means divide.

5 divided by 6 = 5/6 = 0.83333
The answer is either 12/35 or 35/12, depending on which version of the problem is correct. Neither one reduces to 5/6.
