9/49 divided by 21 to solve this make the 21 a fraction by placing it over 1
9/49 divided by 21/1 the use the reciprocal of 21/1
9/49 divided by 1/21 then multiply across
9*1= 9
49*21=1029
then simplify
9/3 = 3
1029/3 = 343

To divide fraction by number we can multiply fraction by inverse of number.
Lets find inverse
21=
(21)/(1) =====>
(1)/(21) - its inverse of 21
Now we can multiply it

(9)/(49)* (1)/(21)= (9*1)/(49*21) = (9)/(1029)= (9:3)/(1029)= (3)/(343) - its our result
