Step-by-Step Solution

We write the exercise in fraction form:

352×7= \frac{35}{2\times7}=

We separate the numerator into a multiplication exercise:

7×52×7= \frac{7\times5}{2\times7}=

We simplify the 7 in the numerator and denominator, obtaining:

52=212 \frac{5}{2}=2\frac{1}{2}

Answer

212 2\frac{1}{2}
