Hey!

We can write it like this,

(27(2)/(3))/(27(4)/(3))
Let's convert them to improper fractions,

=((83)/(3))/((85)/(3))
Let's divide them, but to do that we have to take the reciprocal of the second fraction,

=(83\cdot \:3)/(3\cdot \:85)
Since our common factor is 3, we can cancel them out.

=(83)/(85)
That would be our final answer.

Thanks
