To divide fractions, you need to multiply the dividend (the first fraction) by the reciprocal of the divisor (the second fraction).

The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3, so:

7/8 รท 3/4 = 7/8 * 4/3

Now, you can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(7 * 4) / (8 * 3) = 28/24

You can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

28/24 = 7/6

So, the answer is D.) 7/6.

To divide two fractions, you need to follow these steps:

1. Invert the second fraction: Flip the numerator and the denominator.
2. Multiply the first fraction by the inverted second fraction.

Let's apply these steps to solve the problem.

7/8 divided by 3/4 can be written as (7/8) * (4/3).

Inverting the second fraction, we get (7/8) * (4/3) = (7/8) * (4/3) = 28/24.

Now, we can simplify the fraction 28/24 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

Dividing 28 by 4 and 24 by 4, we get 7/6.

Therefore, the answer is D. 7/6.
