The problem shown in the image asks you to divide two fractions and then express the answer in lowest terms as a proper or improper fraction. The expression is:

\[
\frac{12}{7} \div \frac{3}{7}
\]

### Solution:
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (flip) of the second fraction. So, the operation becomes:

\[
\frac{12}{7} \times \frac{7}{3}
\]

Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[
\frac{12 \times 7}{7 \times 3} = \frac{84}{21}
\]

Next, simplify \(\frac{84}{21}\):

\[
\frac{84}{21} = 4
\]

Thus, the answer is \(4\).
