7/9 divided by 5/6

whenever dividing , always flip over the second fraction

7/9*6/5

cross out 9 and 6 , divide by 3

9/3=3

6/3= 2

7/3*2/5

mutiply the numerators together : 7*2= 14

mutiply the denominators together: 3*5= 15

answer:

Answer: 14/15

Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 7/9 ÷ 5/6 means the same thing as 7/9 × 6/5.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Next we cross cancel 9 and 6 reduced to 3 and 2 but notice that we can't cross cancel 7 and 5 so we multiply across the numerators and denominators.

Therefore, 7/9 ÷ 5/6 = 14/15.
