Answer:


\boxed{=3}

Solution Steps:

______________________________

1.) Divide
\bold{(2x2+3)/(3)} by
\bold{(8)/(9)} by multiplying
\bold{(2x2+3)/(3)} by the reciprocal of
\bold{(8)/(9)}:


  • {((2x2+3)x9)/(3x8)}

Equation at the end of Step 3:


  • {((2x2+3)x9)/(3x8)}

2.) Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator:


  • {((2x2+3)x9)/(3x8)=(3(2+6))/(8)}

- We cancel out the 3's by getting rid of the 3 on the denominator.

Equation at the end of Step 3:


  • (3(2+6))/(8)}

3.) Multiply 2 and 3:


  • 2 ×
    3=8

Equation at the end of Step 3:


  • (3x8)/(8)

4.) Multiply 3 and 8:


  • 3 ×
    8=24

Equation at the end of Step 4:


  • (24)/(8)

5.) Divide 24 by 8:


  • 24 ÷
    8=3
