(4)/(9) ÷
(2)/(3)

First, apply the rule: a ÷
(b)/(c) = a ×
(c)/(b)

(4)/(9) ×
(3)/(2)
Second, apply the rule:
(a)/(b) ×
(c)/(d) =
(ac)/(bd)

(4x3)/(9x2)
Third, multiply 4 × 3 to get 12, and 9 × 2 to get 18.

(12)/(18)
Fourth, find the GCF of 12 and 18.
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
The GCF is 6.
Fifth, divide the numerator by the GCF.

12 ÷ 6 = 2
Sixth, divide the denominator by the GCF.
18 ÷ 6 = 3
Seventh, rewrite your fraction.
