Answer 2

Hi!

First, let's convert
`2 (4)/(9)` to a fraction instead of a mixed number.
To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator. That's your new numerator, the denominator stays the same.

9 x 2 = 18
18 + 4 = 22

`(22)/(9)`

Now when dividing fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. (the reciprocal is the upside down version of the fraction)


`(22)/(9) * (9)/(11)`
22 x 9 = 198
9 x 11 = 99


`(198)/(99)` (simplify:) 2

The answer is 2 :)

Hope this helps! :)
