division is basically
x divided by y=x/y so
18 divided by 2/3=
(18)/( (2)/(3) )
we want the bottom number to be =1 so we multiply 2/3 by 3/2 to make it 1 (or 6/6=1), but we have to multiply the top number by 3/2 also so that we don't change the fraction and make our work useless so


(18)/( (2)/(3) ) times ( (3)/(2) )/( (3)/(2) ) = ( (54)/(2) )/( (6)/(6) )= (27)/(1)=27

the answe ris 27
