Answer:

When dividing fraction, it's always a good idea to use the copy-dot-flip method, or copy-dot-reciprocal.

So in this example it would be

3/11 * 9/2 = 1.227 or 1.22

Answer: 1 and 5/22

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we have 3/11 divided by 2/9. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So, 3/11 ÷ 2/9 can be rewritten as 3/11 × 9/2.

Now, we are simply multiplying fractions. To multiply fractions, we multiply across the numerators and multiply across the denominators.


((3)/(11)) ((9)/(2)) = (27)/(22)

The fraction 27/22 can be written as a mixed number by dividing the denominator into the numerator.

Image provided.

Therefore, 3/11 divided by 2/9 = 1 and 5/22.
