Answer 2

`3/35`

Explanation:

When you divide `3//5` by `7`, you can think of it as making that `3//5` 7 times smaller.

If `1//5` is what we get when we take a whole and chop it up into 5 equal pieces:

Then `1//(5*7)` or `1//35` is the value we get when we take `1//5` and divide it into `7` pieces:

And, of course, we have 3 of these divided pieces, giving us a total of `3*1//35=3//35`.
