find the 'ones'
remember that x/x=1 when x=x
also
(a+b)/(c) =( (a)/(c))+((b)/(c))
try to see how many of the deomenator goes in the numerator

9*1=9
9*2=18
9*3=27
9*4=36
9*5=45
45 is too high
36 is just below

use 36
37-36=1

so

(38)/(9)=

( (36)/(9) )+( (1)/(9) )=

4+ (1)/(9)=
4 and 1/9


answer is 4 and 1/9
