Answer 1

HOw about this!

 

Change 5 1/4 into a improper fraction, which is 21/4.  Then divide 21/4 by 3/4.  21/4 divided by 3/4

 

Now use Keep, Change, Flip.  Keep the first fraction 21/4, change the sign from division to multiplication, then flip the second fraction, flip 3/4 to 4/3.  Now multiply the fractions, numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.  21 x 4 = 84 and 4 x 3 = 12 respectively.  Simplify the 84/12 which equals 7...done!
