First make improper fractions: —> 13/3 divided by 7/3
Then multiply by the reciprocal: —> 13/3 times 3/7
The threes will cancel making the answer 13/7 or 1 6/7

Here is you're answer:

In order to solve this equation you need to change the mixed numbers into improper fractions then use KCF.

  • Turn into improper fractions:

  • 4(1)/(3) = (13)/(3)

  • 2(1)/(3) = (7)/(3)

  • (13)/(3) / (7)/(3)
  • Apply KCF:

  • (13)/(3) * (3)/(7)
  • Solve:

  • (13)/(3) * (3)/(7) = (39)/(21)
  • Simplify:

  • (39)/(21) / 3 = (13)/(7)

  • = (13)/(7)
  • Changed to mixed number:

  • (13)/(7) = 1(6)/(7)

  • = 1(6)/(7)

Therefore you're answer is"1 6/7."

Hope this helps!
