ExplanationA ratio is a part-to-part relationship, but it can be expressed and manipulated just like a fraction—in this case, \(3 \div 3\frac{1}{2}\). None of the answers have a fractional value in the denominator, so you need to find a multiplier that will get rid of the fraction. In this case, just doubling the entire ratio will do the trick:
\(3 \div 3\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{4}{7}\).
Hence option C is correct!
