$3428/1.25 is the same as
$3428÷1.25
Yes, you will have to take the calculator and do the division to get the final answer.
Feel free to post the final answer for verification if you wish.

Answer 4

I came up with $ 2,742.4

Answer 5

I apologize that I was completely off.

Let's start over.

1 yen equals 1.25 cents = $0.0125

so by direct proportion:

1 yen : $0.0125
3428 yens : $X

so by cross multiplication:
$X = $0.0125*3428yens/1 yen
= $42.85
