To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction (7/8) by the reciprocal (also called the multiplicative inverse) of the second fraction (3/4).

Reciprocal of 3/4 = 4/3

7/8 ÷ 3/4 = 7/8 * 4/3

Multiplying the numerators gives: 7 * 4 = 28
Multiplying the denominators gives: 8 * 3 = 24

So, the answer is 28/24.

Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4, gives:

28 ÷ 4 / 24 ÷ 4 = 7/6

Therefore, the correct answer is 3. 7/6.
