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.
