3 is divided by the fraction 4 plus Pi/2 x Pie
The fraction 4 plus Pi/2 x Pie = 4%2Bpi%2F2pi
But pi%2F2pi sinply cancels out the pi on the top and bottom leaving you with 1%2F2.
So, 4%2Bpi%2F2pi becomes 4%2B1%2F2+=+4%281%2F2%29 and 4%281%2F2%29+=+9%2F2.
So, 3 divided by the fraction 4 plus Pi/2 x Pie becomes 3 divided by the (improper) fraction 9/2, which is,
3+%2F+%289%2F2%29
Double the 3 on the top and the 9/2 on the bottom to give,
6+%2F+9%29
=2+%2F+3%29

PS It's the Greek letter pi, not the dessert, pie.
