Answer 1

21/3 gives u 7 becxause you divide 21 divided by 3 which give u 7

Answer 2

2 and 1/3 is also (7/3), and you divide that by (2/5). when you divide fractions you flip the divisor (2/5) so that it is its reciprocal (5/2) then you multiply (7/3) by (5/2). 7*5 = 35, 2*3 = 6, so it is (35/6). 6 goes into 35 5 times with a remainder of 5... 5 and 5/6...D...you're welcome.
