To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.
Therefore, (6/7) ÷ (3/5) = (6/7) * (5/3).
Multiplying the numerators 6 and 5 gives 30.
Multiplying the denominators 7 and 3 gives 21.
Therefore, (6/7) ÷ (3/5) = 30/21.
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
So, 30/21 simplifies to (30 ÷ 3) / (21 ÷ 3).
30 ÷ 3 = 10, and 21 ÷ 3 = 7.
Therefore, 30/21 simplifies to 10/7.
The simplified answer is 10/7.
