to convert a mixed fraction into simple fraction , we have to follow through following steps
Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.
Add that to the numerator
Write that result on top of the denominator
so 3 4/5 = [ (5*3)+4]/5 = [15+4]/5
= [19/5]

2 5/7 = [(7*2)+5]/7 = [14+5]/7 = [19/7]

3 4/5 / x = 2 5/7 ==> (19/5)/x = (19/7)
