Answer:

1
(1)/(14)

Explanation:

Turn the mixed fractions into improper fractions:

2 1/2 = 5/2

2 1/3 = 7/3

5/2 ÷ 7/3

Replace the division sign with a multiplication sign by reciprocating 7/3.

5/2 × 3/7

Multiply the numerators and the denominators.

= 15/14

Simplify 15/14 by turning it into a mixed fraction.

1
(1)/(14)

I hope this helps!
