3 1/2 can be written as 7/2.
To multiply, we multiply the numerators (7 * 3 = 21) and the denominators (8 * 2 = 16).
So, 7/8 multiplied by 3 1/2 is equal to 21/16.
To convert this to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (21) by the denominator (16) and write down the whole number part (1).
The remainder is 5 (21 - 16 = 5), which becomes the numerator of the fraction.
The denominator remains the same (16).
Therefore, the final answer is 1 5/16.
