Answer:Multiply the denominator on the bottom of the fraction by the whole number you are dividing by.

To divide a fraction by a whole number, multiply the bottom of the fraction by this whole number.

The denominator on the bottom of the fraction is 7.

We will multiply 7 by 2.

7 × 2 = 14 and so, 6 / 7 ÷ 2 = 6 / 14 .
