Just multiply by the inverse. 3/7 divided by 3 becomes 3/7 times 1/3 so 3/21 or 1/7.
12 divided by 1/3 become 12/1 times 3/1 so the answer is 36.

Question 1
3 visitors<-----> 3/7 litre
1 visitor<----> (1/3) x (3/7) litres = 1/7 litres
Question 2
(1/3) m<---> 1 towel
12 m<---> (12) / (1/3) x 1 = 12 x 3 = 36 towels

1. You have 3/7 liter split amongst 3 people, so you'll want to divide by 3
3/7 divided by 3 = 3/7 * 1/3 Since when you divide fraction, you multiply and flip the second
Now, multiply so you have 3(1) / 7(3)=1/7 liter of pineapple juice for each person

3/7 x 1/4 you divide by 4 because it is u and 3 guests so there are 4 people
3/28
12 x 3 = 36 you multiply by 3 because u can make 3 towels per meter
