Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 2/

3

is 3/

2

) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step, , cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 9/

.

In words - six divided by two thirds = nine.

Answer 2

you keep the first number the way it is, and multiply by the reciprocal of the second number so:

6/1 * 3/2

6*3=18
1*2=2

So then you have 18/2 which is 9
